I’ve been doing drugs since I was 18 (I’m About to be 27 in a month), yet I still got my bachelors and recently managed to land my dream job, a brand new studio apartment, but all the newfound money and status got To my head and I basically went on a 3 1/2 month drug binge (I literally just worked and did drugs/party all late spring/summer, I would even get high in the office during my in-person days).

It culminated in me nearly dying twice in a 7 day period, I nearly lost my job (thankfully my boss is an amazing human being and he managed to secure a PAID 50 day leave so I could go to rehab, which I did and I’m currently in rehab now), I was so high that I threatened drug dealers who knew where I live so I don’t feel safe going back home (I went to the other side of the country for rehab and to start over, literally…), cops raided my home and found me overdosed so I didn’t get charged for drugs, and a bunch of other crazy shit.

I’m grateful to still be alive and my skin is finally returning to normal! I thought I was doomed to advanced aging; but no, it was literally just the drugs… Cheers to 3 weeks of sobriety :)!
