#3 DRUGS

Methamphetamine is a life changer. All it takes in the one hit and you are addicted. I have not met one person who says, "I just tried it once." It doesn't work like that. We have to get people in place to build programs like Narcotics Anonymous-NA, to help those who want to escape the people who continue to use in their life. If they "hang" with these people after becoming sober they will relapse. I have a friend who shared this exact statement with me. He said he doesn't want this life, but he doesn't know anything else. He is always chasing the fix, because he doesn't have the tools (people) in place to support him. We need to get these supports in place. I want to help build strong support foundations that are rock solid. We have to educate, prevent, and teach those who want help a different way to live.
