Ill start from the beginning of how I have gotten to the place I am at now.
DRUGS. When I was 18, I started using meth, and needless to say—my previously promising life went downhill from there. I was homeless, addicted, I was sleeping with men fro drugs and money. It was terrible.
So on my 21st birthday, I am sitting in a hotel room in Texas all alone, crying. Thats when the phone rings. It is the Ex boyfriend semi-fresh outta rehab calling me from Missouri with an offer to fly up and live with him, get a job, use his car and straighten my life out. No Strings Attatched.
About 4 days late, I am on a plane with only enough clothing to fit in a carry on bag.

It turns out there were strings attatched and it turns out that he is using meth. He is crazy and abusive and using drugs and spending all the money I am giving him for bills on drugs.

After about a year, I left his house in the middle of the night and never looked back.

I have never used meth again. I have gained 40lbs and am miserable about that, but I am in a great relationship and there are so many other wonderful things going on in my life right now-I feel like I have done good for myself so far. I want to continue though. I want to become a better person. I want to be better to other people, help animals, help the enviornment, LEARN. There are so many things I have yet to accomplish.

My “re-birth” was born of a life-sucking addiction, but I am glad that it has led me to this place. I believe in myself more than ever and I find myself believing in everyone else more than ever too.
