“Yeah, life was one ‘big party.’ Then one day I got raped and threatened with a knife, and just when I needed my friends most nobody cared. Then I found myself overdosing on diet pills. I wanted desperately to have an out of body experience and remain disoriented until my heart stopped. Immeasurable sorrow seemed to be my only certain destiny.”

“I became very rebellious against family AND God. So I started doing drugs other than pot, which I had already been smoking since age ten. At 15, I began to fire "T" (thc), and then it was coke, and then crank, and it ended up being anything that would break down, if it made me feel different (if it numbed my senses).”

“I started using methamphetamines (crank), vicodin, and valium. I was never sober.”
