MY ADDICTION BEGAN WHEN I WAS 13. I STARTED DRINKING AND THEN SMOKING WEED BEFORE I KNEW IT I HAD UPGRADED TO METH AND THIS IS WHERE MY LIFE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. I MET MY HUSBAND IN HIGH SCHOOL WE WERE BOTH INTO GANGS AS TIME WENT BY WE STARTED GETTING HIGH TOGETHER AND WE LOST SELF RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER.IN 1996 WE DECIDED THAT WE HAD ENOUGH WE BEGAN TO EXPERINCE PARANOIA AND PSYCHOSIS SO WE MOVED UP NORTH TO STOCKTON. WELL LIFE WAS NOT EASY FOR US AT ALL FIRST WE WERE FROM L.A. AND THE GANG MEMBERS UP THERE WANTED TO HURT US. MY FATHER IN LAW LIVED UP THERE IN A BASEMENT AND THAT IS WERE OUR LIFE WAS SPEND IN DETOX BOTH OF US IN PAIN CRAWLING ON THE FLOOR LIKE IF WE WERE WORMS JUST TO BE ABLE TO USE THE RESTROOM. I CANT EVER FORGET FEELING LIKE MY BONES WERE GOING TO JUMP OUT OF MY BODY.IT TOOK US ABOUT 2 WEEKS TO FEEL BETTER AFTER THAT WE HAD TO LEARN HOW TO EAT AND SLEEP ON TIME. WE ALSO STARTED GOING TO AN APOSTOLIC CHURCH WERE GOD REALLY TOUCHED ME. IN EARLY 1998 WE DECIDE TO COME BACK TO L.A. WE TOUGHT THAT WE WERE READY TO COME BACK BUT IN 1999 WE LOST MY PRECIOUS MOTHER IN LAW TO THIS AWFUL DRUG WHEN THIS HAPPEND ME AND MY HUSBAND RELAPSE. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT ANY DRUG WOULD EVER TAKE ANY OF MY LOVED ONES AWAY. (I GUESS I WAS WRONG) NOT ONLY DID IT TAKE HER AWAY FROM US BUT IT TOOK US AWAY AGAIN. IN 2001 I HAD A MOMENT WITH MYSELF AND I SAW THAT MY LIFE WAS FALLING APART AGAIN AND THAT I WAS ABOUT TO LOSE THE PERSON THAT I LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART MY HUSBAND AND I SAID NO MORE DEVIL YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE ANYTHING ELSE AWAY FROM ME AND THIS IS WHEN I FOUND MY SELF AGAIN SOBER AND AWARE OF MY SURROUNDINGS.I THANK GOD FOR ALWAYS PROTECTING ME EVEN WHEN I MADE FOOLISH DECISIONS. TODAY I AM SERVING GOD IN WHITTIER CALIFORNIA WITH MY HUSBAND WHO IN HONOR OF OUR MOMMA *SHERRY* WE ARE OPENING A SCHOOL TO HELP PEOPLE GET TRAIN TO BECOME CERTIFIED IN CALIFORNIA AS ALCOHOL AND DRUG COUNSELORS.
