Have you ever done so many drugs that even when you weren't high you functioned like you were? Have you ever been so high you couldn't figure out where you were, even if you were sitting at home? Have you ever developed strange habits you wouldn't do normally that you cannot explain?
There are so many effects drugs have on your brain, it is scary. It isn't just euphoria or slowing down or speeding up. Drugs effect your nervous system causing unusual sensations and loss of functionality.
There were days I would just sit and stare off, not thinking about anything and once I snapped back I realized 15 min had went by and I would jump up afraid of what had happened in that time I was blanked out. There was this time I was in a hotel in Arizona when I had done such a large amount of cocaine, I sat in the bathroom sweating and shaking for hours repeatedly taking baths trying to get rid of it and sober up so I could go to sleep, but I couldn't. That was scary. There was many nights I would wake up and sit there nervously for a few minutes not knowing where I was. I developed nervous twitches in my body and my legs would quickly convulse here and there for no reason. My hands use to shake hard all the time, my skin was extremely oily and my hair was always dry and dirty, not because I didn't bathe but because my body produced more than normal amount of natural secretions. It was disgusting.
I have heard so many stories of people killing others while on drugs and not realizing it. I was in jail with a woman who lost all her teeth because she tried chewing through the cage in the police car while on PCP. I was in jail with another girl who would masturbate for men for Meth because she thought she had to, that's what she was brainwashed to believe.
I never felt good, I was far from good on drugs. I was always afraid of people, afraid of working, of kids, of having friends, of the world. The world on drugs is scary, even if you think its a happier place, really take the time to look around and see if it is somewhere you want to live for the rest of your life or if you can improve it through sober eyes.
I love to speak about overcoming addiction. Coming from my personal experiences, I have hope, love, and encouragement and wish to end the cycle of addiction.
