Hey,
I wanted to take this opportunity to write this message to any teenagers out there that will take a minute out of their day to read it.
I just wanted to mention a couple of things about choices and how they can impact your life. I chose to smoke pot at the age of 14 (I’m 37 now) and thought that was where it would end. I finished high school and moved onto university where I made the choice to smoke everyday and experiment with harder drugs thinking that I would quit once I completed school. It did not turn out that way.
After I graduated from school and started out in the working world I was using cocaine more frequently until it was almost routine like brushing your teeth in the morning. The repercussions of my choices resulted in a loss of friends and a heavy strain on my family, something of which now I am trying to repair as I write this from drug rehabilitation facility.
I guess what I am trying to say is think very carefully about the choices that you make before you make them and ensure that they are in your best interest so you don’t have to carry the same burdens that I have had to for all these years.
Thanks for your time,
J.D.

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,

I am writing to tell you that if you think doing drugs is cool, it’s not. I’m a 30 years old in rehab. For the last 12 years I have used drugs, it has cost me alot of relationships and great friends and family.
Next time you think about smoking a joint with the boys just for fun think twice – do you want to be in rehab when you are 30?
