Over the years of addiction

When I first started using I was young and dumb and it didn't seem to phase me too much as in, I could go all night and still be functional the next day. Years later into it, it got hard. I started getting sick a lot, visiting the hospital a lot, my hair and skin were nasty, I was always depressed and angry. I had no idea how badly it affected me until after I had quit. I didn't really know what life would be like without drugs so to me, that was a normal life. How tragic!
