"I started using Meth when I was 12 years old. When I first started out I was doing a tiner every other night, then as I got older I was doing any where from an 8-ball to 3.5 grams starting on Sunday morning I would smoke till the ball or the 3.5 was gone then I would go get more non stop. One day I realized that what I was doing was not good for me. My Mom and I were headed to visit the college that I am gonna go to and that whole week I had been using non stop. So we left at 7 in the morning and it took 4 hours to get there from where I live. So when we get there I was starting to come down. By the time we got done with the tour and looking at apartments (which took damn near all day) I was really starting to feel sleepy since I had been up all week. So my mom made me drive home cause she was tired, I had been driving for half and hour when she fell asleep. We were an hour away from home when I fell asleep at the wheel. Luckily no one was hurt no other cars were involved. What had happened was I was driving on the interstate in the right hand lane, I went all the way over to the left hand shoulder and bounced off a cement guard rail and it bounced me all the way back to the right hand lane and when we hit it woke us both up but I kept driving like nothing happened. That's when I decided that was enough it was too close of a call. Now I've been clean for almost a month."
