I was an addict for 20 years. the first time I ever did math I shot it up and it was the best feeling I had ever had. people say they're addicted but addiction is more than just the drug it's the anticipation it's the camaraderie it's the it's the feeling that you get after you've been peaking for so long I was an addict. I loved getting high I love getting high so much that I loved it more than my relationships I loved it more than taking care of myself I loved it more than my family my connections my friends. I loved it more than more than I can say. I always used to say that I'll sleep when I die, that I'll never stop doing meth. and the thing that actually got me to stop was seeing my son at 1 years old on the other side of the sliding glass door in a droopy diaper crying while I'm getting high. for a split moment I thought he needs better than that and I quit. I quit. I quit cold turkey.

I know that addiction is you, the enemy of my soul, But I do not know why I have become friends With the enemy of my own life.
