Hello,
this is for young girls who are drinking. Please stop drinking while you still can.
I started drinking when i was 12 and it has been a long journey for me to remain sober. I have hurt my family and friends along the way. At the time I didn’t really care but now it has cost me my youth and I am struggling to become the person I once was.
Please stop drinking today not tomorrow or the next day but today.

Drugs and alcohol nearly ruined my wonderful life. I can’t say that I was pushed into that lifestyle by negative influences in my family, that wouldn’t be true. I made my own choices and I had to deal with them. I have been in rehabilitation for almost 5 months, but it is coming to an end very soon. It was a long road getting here. Over a decade of drinking, 2 years of cocaine, and three months of crack brought me here. I was on top of the world, and in a profession that made me a community leader, but I threw it all away. Now I have to fight to get my job back, but I have no one to blame but myself. Please don’t make the same mistakes I have.

I started using drugs socially after work, and on the weekends. I had two amazing jobs, lots of friends and a cute little apartment. I was drinking as well. Then it got out of hand I started using drugs everyday, all day and then I lost both my amazing jobs. Eventually I lost my apartment, all my possessions, friends and I lost myself. I started using other drugs heavily. My life was out of control. I had no one beside me, and I completely lost myself.
Today I am five months clean, happy, healthy, and finishing an amazing program with so much to give. I learned that I dont need drugs, possessions, but only my sobriety, family and my own self-respect. I have changed so much for the better, and I have respect and I love my life.
I am writing this to let everyone know my story and I hope you read it and think about the choices you’re making that are and will effect your being.
Thank you,
Sophie Carter
