Teen Drug AddictionPrintEmail

I started doing drugs around a year and a half ago, the summer after 8th grade. It started with small things like weed. Eventually I took acid, X, and prescription drugs -- basically anything I could get my hands on. Now, I've used everything except crack and needle heroin. A month ago I ended up in the hospital from an overdose. They found everything in my blood and urine. I did around a 60 of coke and I took about 9 pills. I couldn't move. My parents walked in my room and found me crawling to the door to greet them, trying to play it off. I was told I looked dead. I don't remember much. I was taken to the hospital and given charcoal to absorb the toxins. They said had it been 20 minutes later, I would've been a vegetable or dead. Even after this, I still have cravings for coke and pills, and consider calling someone for some. Most of the time I can't sleep because I'm thinking about it. I just know that drugs screwed up a lot of things for me, and I hope anyone that's reading this can take into consideration the possibilities of what can happen as a result of using drugs.
