“I thought drugs were an escape.”
“When I was 15, a guy I knew raped me. I turned to my friends for support, but they accused me of lying! I was devastated2. I needed to relieve my pain, and I thought drugs were the answer. I found that smoking weed3 made me feel secure and loved, but when the high4 wore off5, I felt even more empty, lost and alone. I thought the solution was to do more drugs, so I started using harder drugs like cocaine and Ecstasy6.
One night, I was smoking pot7 at my boyfriend’s house. We had a fight and I stormed out and drove off. That’s the last thing I remember. When I regained consciousness8, there were paramedics9 over me and lights flashing. I’d smashed into a telephone pole. I suffered shock and a concussion10, but my doctors said I was lucky to be alive—the crash could’ve killed me.
The crash cost me nearly $10000! But I got a second chance at life. I quit drugs, and I look forward to my future—because now I have a future.”
