I never thought id be here

I first started using drugs at 15 years old. Sounds crazy now, that something I thought was so harmless back then ended up nearly destroying me forever. I started with weed, then ecstacy. I wouldn`t go out unless I had 10 in my pocket. I always had to overdo everything. I was never the girl who could have one drink, one tablet, one line. I always wanted more. Using drugs was a coping mechanism for me. I lost both parents at a young age and was always a socially awkward person and drugs gave me the confidence I thought I wanted! I finally got clean in my 30s, after a serious overdose that nearly killed me, and ALOT of relapses! No matter how many times you relapse, please keep trying. There was once a time I couldn`t care for my own kids and now I hate to be away from them. With an amazing partner and family by my side I feel like i`ve finally made it! And you can too. We can recover. Keep her lit! Love Lyn x
