Basically, I got into addiction, the whole partying and stuff and basically messed up big time and finally my dad was like I can’t support you anymore.” M: “What kind of addiction?” A: “Meth.” M: “How are you doing now with meth? Have you kicked it yet or are you still struggling with it?” A: “I’m still struggling with that. I stopped for almost three years but then after I lost my baby when I was clean and sober, I ended up being homeless, and just after a while I was like I might as well do it. I know it’s not good.” M: “When did you start? How old were you?” A: “I was twenty-four when I did meth. Well I started really when I was nineteen, when I went to college.” M: “With meth?” A: “No, no just weed and alcohol.” M: “Isn’t it a big step to go meth? Everybody knows meth is really bad.” A: “Well, I was just using. I was partying and stuff and I was trying to get acceptance ‘cause I didn’t have friends as a kid. So when I got into the drug crowd I was doing that and eventually they introduced meth. ‘Cause I was really resistant to it for a long time. I used to make fun of tweakers. Even today I still make fun of tweakers and I do meth. I don’t like people knowing but it’s like I wanna at least get the message out there, ya know? .
