"I first tried meth when I was 18 and continued using it for about 2 months I figured 'Hey, I don't have to pay for it,' so I started doing it more and anytime I needed more I just called a friend and there it was. This all started in June but in September my world went upside down, my friend and I got into a horrible accident where he was cut out of his truck and airlifted to a local hospital and I walked away. The image of seeing him being pulled out of that car still haunts me and I have been clean for over a year now."
