I am a recovering addict/alcoholic. In the end my drug of choice was heroin. I scratched, nodded, lost a ton of weight, was up....was down......got into trouble, got homeless, shoplifted to support my habit, avoided family, got impetigo twice from the dope, pawned everything while I still had it, lies....borrowing money from anyone and everyone....missing in action lots of times......unemployable......pupils were tiny.....oh and if I didn't have any after about the 3rd day of back on it....I was sick, puking, sweating, cold chills, HUGE pupils, couldn't sleep.....blech....................THANK GOD, I don't have to go through that again!!!!
