I was a normal teenage kid, just starting middle school, on my road to success, until I made the choice to smoke weed.
My favorite mistake is using drugs. My personality has changed tremendously, and I have gotten in trouble with the law as a consequence too using. My friends and family trust me less, and now I am in a program. I am changing my ways, but will never be the same.
The first time I smoked marijuana, was in the 7th grade sometime in December. My friend Tanner showed up at my house to hangout and he had weed. He asked me if I wanted to smoke and I didn't say no. That is when I messed up. I have been getting in trouble ever since.
I have been in a program now for almost 9 months because of the choices I have made as a consequence to using marijuana. Ever since, I have spent all my money on drugs, and would do all I could to get money to buy marijuana. I have made a lot of bad decisions, and I regret so much. But because I have gotten in trouble, I have learned that weed is not all that it appears to be. I have gotten addicted and will always be. But I will never again let my drug problems control my life.
Being in this program has changed me tremendously. I think I am a totally changed person. Yeah, I still have my flaws but I am still the same David. The difference now is that I don't want to ruin my life with drugs, and what to be a better person. I take the responsibility for my actions because no one was controlling me, I had the choice to make the decisions I had (I have learned how to say no). But I have grown from the little seventh grade pot head, now I am more mature and can make better choices. I have never been able to be proud of myself, until now.

I can relate to this memoir because I started out smoking weed. But then it got into bigger drugs like meth, And ever since I took that first hit of weed my life was turned around. My life revolved around drugs no matter what it was, my life was pretty much unmanageable for me.
I think getting high was a bad choice.But to make honest change you can't blame smoking.I can relate because when I was smoking meth I would rob people and do any thing for dope money but it was my choice.Blaming the drug seems right but I realize it's not
Smoking marijuana was my favorite mistake. Many people say it isn't bad for you and not addictive but it is. It's one of the less harmful drugs but it does really change a person, just as much as any other drug out there. It becomes a part of your life, and once you're dependent on it nothing else matters, as long as your high. All your goals in life don't matter anymore cause you are a "pothead" and you become too busy getting high than to do anything else. Being in the system has changed my mindset on that. I know that as long as I'm getting high, I'm not going to go anywhere in my life.
David. Your a good kid. I was once on this situation too. As a matter of fact, last year I did my favorite mistake on the same thing as you. I said that if I wouldn't of done drugs I would've never met the people that I know now, and I would have never met summit and the good people here. Keep your head up and don't do drugs.
We all have flaws David. Nobody is perfect. The fact that you know that and recognize the flaws makes you a better person. The fact that you want to change and you've done what you have to change, it says a lot about you. It says that you actually want to change. You've learned how to say no and let your better judgement make your decisions, not your simple desires. I respect that.
Hey stay strong.
You have learned a great deal when I first met you.
You do make some great progress im proud of you.
Me as a drug addict, can relate. I got into Marijuana at a young age too. Then I went harder, and would do anything to get high. So I tried a lot, ecstasy, spice, pain killers, and even huffing. I've known you for about 7 months now, and I've seen the progress you've made. We just need to keep our heads up, and know we've got a lot ahead of us.
I think its great that you learned that you didn't want drugs in your life, that drugs couldn't make you a better person. and that you took that and made your self a better person because of it. its great that you can finally be proud of yourself.
