Crack Has Put Me Through Hell
I left home at 13, had my first drink at 14. At 20, I started dancing in strip joints and doing drugs like acid, cocaine, and speed, and continued on drugs regularly since 1975. I was introduced to crack about 15 years ago and did it on and off until I was on it on a daily basis the past 3 years.
I'd move across town to get away from people, places, things. That didn't work. I moved to Texas to get away, but when I'd come back to visit, the first thing I'd do was use. Crack has put me through hell. I wrecked my Cadillac, lost all my jewelry, put up my TV and VCR for a piece - sold all my possessions except my clothes. Then I was homeless.
I was sentenced to AADP for 3 years after almost killing myself in a head-on collision (I was high). I got violated 7 times on AADP and went to jail for 7 weeks. The courts gave me an utlimatum....
It took Wings of Hope and Community Corrections and jail to change my whole outlook in life. I've gotten closer to God, and I have my grandkids every weekend. My son sees me every week and I've grown closer to my daughter. Today I am a better mother, grandmother, and a better person. - Margaret
