life changes, but Im always Ashley


 drugs are bad...
Back to Full Blog  

I have been reading some blogs tonight and doing some thinking. It's so crazy how we all live such different lives. To me the life I have lived is normal. It's what happens and it's how almost everyone I know lives or has lived at some point. But reading about other people and learning about others has showed me just how not normal my life is.

I learned about drugs at such a young age that I never really gave them much thought. To me it was "normal" to meet people who did drugs. I was the rare one in the crowd. I didn't do drugs and the people who I associated with thought I was the weird one. I even thought I was the weird one for a while.

By drugs I mean dope, crank, meth, speed, whatever you want to call it. I just want to clear that up. This drugs is way more common than most people know or think.

My dad uses meth, my mom use to use meth (she passed away in 2003) my sister uses meth, my "boyfriend" use to use meth (he's in prison) and some how I have managed to never even try the stuff. I was never interested in trying it. I just don't understand why anyone would want to do it. I probably know less than 5 people who have never done meth.

Well, anyway I had much more I wanted to write, but somehow I have lost my thoughts. I will write more later.

I have lost a nice and a nephew to Meth. They are not dead...just very lost right now. I commend your self-strength at not allowing your mind or body to want the stuff. I come from a big city and have lost so many I love to drugs and I do feel that is the differance...you do not allow the thought of using to enter into your mind/soul strongly enuff to let it take over. It's like there is a chip in the wall between right and wrong and so many let the notion of trying it "once" slip through that chip only to find...once is not enough. I admire you for seeing people try it and not joining in, you must be very smart and see what happens when one does "try" it. Sadly, not everyone has that gift of fore sight and only think of the here and now moment.

Both my sister and my girlfriend did it for many years. I'm so proud of them, they have managed to stay clean for almost a year now. My girlfriend has really turned her life around and is doing an amazing job. My sister is paying the consequence of her lifestyle, sitting in jail, waiting to go to rehab. Even though she's been off it almost a year I'm still glad she's going to rehab, she will benefit in so many ways.

I'm so glad you never did it, nor did I. It wrecks lives. Go go girl!

Like your pther commenters I admire you for staying true to yourself.
