You know, before I made into drug addiction treatment I always thought that the people who needed it were people who abused drugs to the point of addiction and then their lives were torn apart. I don’t think I was the only sap in the world who thought that, though. I mean, it was a long time ago, but I always remember those films they would show us in high school about the junkies whose habits engulfed their entire lives and destroyed their families and their careers. First, you’d see these guys before they started using and then you’d see them after getting hooked and they looked like these disheveled, slovenly dressed panhandlers with black circles under their eyes. That’s why I never worried about using drugs because I never looked like that. I’m a stock broker for God’s sake. I wear a suit and tie to work everyday and I still had my job. Granted, I definitely did my share of coke, but hey, I still had a job, a house, and a super nice car. No harm, no foul, right? Sure, I’d do about twenty-five toots a day from my bullet, but I was always on point. I didn’t see the problem.

Of course as time went on that all started to change. It really hit me one day when I forgot to bring my stash to work and I almost felt incomplete. It felt so weird to me when I realized that I genuinely felt like something was missing just because I didn’t have my blow. Well, it didn’t take to long after that for me to get some drug addiction treatment and turn my life around. It felt strange having to admit that I had a problem, but I had seen the light and I knew it was the best thing for me. When I think about the time in my life that I was using I can never understand how I thought nothing was wrong. Nowadays I’m completely sober and my head is much clearer. These days I don’t miss a thing.
