5 Months clean from heroin, cocaine, & ecstasy

“I am 25 years old now. It all started back around 18-19 years old. That is when I first tried percocet. Since then I have been in and out of a few rehabs. Every time I went was because I depleted my family’s resources or wanted to get them off my back.

But about 13 months ago, right after Valentine’s day last year is when I took a nose dive. I had upgraded from snorting percocets to snorting raw heroin around the age of 21. It lasted a while. But as most people know, it’s inevitable that an addict will eventually move over to needles. It got even worse quick.

First off I switched from raw heroin to scramble immediately. It was way cheaper and when it comes to IV use, it gives off a way better rush. This also resulted in becoming dope sick way quicker than before. I went from 185 to 148 pounds in about 3 months.

Now I’m at this place in Baltimore. I’ve been here since I got out of jail and flew back in November. And life is really good. I know 5 months of clean time isn’t a lot… But it’s great for me. I’ve never ever had real time before. So this is awesome.”
