I don’t think any one who starts using drugs thinks about Drug Addiction. When I started using it was just doing what my friends were doing. Drug Addiction never entered my mind. At first, using was fun, something we did on the weekends. I don’t know when it started to change, but it did.

My using started to increase, both in the amount and how often I used. As my drug use increased I started to change. I spent less time with friends and almost no time with family. I became self absorbed and lost interest in those things that were once important to me. Drug Addiction is insidious, I never saw it coming.

I lost family and friends to Drug Addiction. I lost jobs and possessions to Drug Addiction. I lost my freedom, self esteem, health and finally the one I loved, lost her life to Drug Addiction. This was the lowest part of my life and I would have gladly given my life to Drug Addictionbut it wasn’t to be. I ended up in Lake View Health Systems for Drug Addiction Treatment. My life’s not perfect, by any means, but it is much better. My family is back in my life, I have a good job and friends that care about me. I am even starting to like myself. Don’t make the same mistake I made, Drug Addiction is always a possibility.
