“It really all started with alcohol and weed at 16. I was in a really emotionally abusive relationship for 7 years and when I finally left him I settled with another guy who treated me great but had a pill problem. Within a month I was also doing pills. I eventually moved on to heroin and crack after that.”

But jeez, EVERY ONE of these stories has a line in it blaming bad decisions on someone else.
Just about everyone has been in an abusive relationship of some kind.
