"I started using meth when I was 15. I didn't use it everyday, only on the weekends. Once I turned 18, I was using everyday, all day. By the time I was 19 I was living on my own and could do it when I wanted, how I wanted, and as much as I wanted. I could NEVER get enough. By the time I was 20 The Bannock County Drug task force, and the American Falls Sheriffs department were kicking in my front door pointing guns in mine and my 'friends' faces and hauling us ALL off to jail on multiple felony charges. I entered the Drug Court program, and it was the best thing that has EVER happened to me. I've been clean for over 2 years now, and am also a student at ISU. I thought I would only do it once, or even once in a while...boy, was I wrong. "
