I gave up a lot of things for drugs. I never realized that until after the fact that I quit and had to make it out there. When I was an addict I strutted around everywhere I went, and that was a lot of cities by the way. I thought I had it goin on for sure. Boy was I sorely mistaken. I had a crappy degree that wouldn't even get me a job in that field. I got turned down for damn near every job I applied for in that field because it wasn't good enough. I could only find work at low paying junk jobs that teenagers were usually hired for. I did them because I thought I would make it but people often ridiculed me saying I was too old to be so undereducated so they we r gonna promote the 21 year old college kid instead. Do you have any idea how BAD that feels? I realized because of drugs I gave up a good paying career path. Starting over in life nearly 30 years old was HARD. It still is! I am STILL working my ass off for not much pay. I am going back to school that I won't finish for a few years and I turn 32 in two days. I got so behind in life that it makes me angry everyday. All I can hope for is my writing career to take off.. at least that is what I want more than anything. It takes work and thanks to drugs I have to prove myself even more in a market that caters to younger and younger candidates.
Don't let drugs take away your future please. If it already has, then I am sorry. There is still time to fix it.
