My Favorite Mistake


The biggest mistake I have ever made in my life was smoking meth. I first started smoking it with my older brother, and when I did it I already knew I was making a big mistake, but I was thinking straight at that time. After the first time I smoked meth I changed, I was a different person, I wasn’t Me. My family knew I was getting high but didn’t ever confront me about it because they thought I was gonna run away and go overdose and not care about them anymore. So I keep getting high every day and getting skinnier and skinnier by the hit, not caring who I hurt or what I did. All I wanted to do was get high and not care about anyone or anything. I thought I was living the life then, but now as I look back I realized how messed up my life was when I was smoking meth. The worst thing I did on meth was still money from my mom and buy drugs with it. I was never home and my mom was always short on money so she couldn’t feed my brothers and sister. I regret stealing money from my mom, because she has been there for me no matter what, even when I have lied to her, hurt her (not physically), denied her help, and gotten into trouble with the law and making her leave work just to come pick me up from D.T. or going to my court. I just barely realized my life was unmanageable, and I had no control of it at all, all because I smoked meth and decided to let it define my life as a drug addict.   I'm in treatment/rehab right now and I am getting the help I need to have a sober life and avoid my past relationships that help cause "my biggest mistake."

I can relate to this because I was always stealing money to be able to get by. Though I have never done drugs I understand what you were or are going through. How did you break that habit of stealing money for drugs?

This post really inspired me! I can't say I know how you feel or that I know what you were going through because I don't know. I've never smoked meth, but I have done other drugs, so I know how hard it is to get back up on your feet and stay there, so good job on that! Keep your mind straight!

Aron, I agree with Kryspin. This post really inspires me. It tells me that you know what's up with your life. That you know exactly where you are and where you used to be. Your a great guy and a good friend. The way you were with meth is how I am with spice. Whenever I do it, I lose sight of myself and those I care about. I always want to just take another hit and just forget my daily stresses. That's why I'm in my program is to fix all my drug and family problems. So great job bro! Keep up the great work!
