I work at the jail.
I couldn’t begin to tell you all the sad stories. Thousands of girls in their 20s who sold their self esteem for a hit.

My uncle was (and is) addicted to meth. He’s in an asylum right now, getting treated. My cousin tried to commit suicide because of it. We couldn’t go anywhere to help because they all live in Canada. Sigh.
Sorry, it’s kind of depressing, but I can tell you’re really interested. The addiction was like a monster. A monster that never stops. I almost got hooked once, but I’m glad I didn’t. Thank God. I hear the crash is worse and deeper than the high, and that’s why I turned it down.
Again about my uncle…he’s finally recovering. If anything, I’m closer with my cousin, because I got him to say no and he actually cried. The punk rocker cried! And now we’re best friends.
And…why did you want to know this again?
I’ll stop talking your ears off now, lol, and hopefully everything goes well for you and your fam…
