What it was like?

When I wàs using I put everything to the side I hurt everyone around me. Nothing mattered to me but getting high and drunk.

What happened?

I went to prison for the 3rd time. When I got out I was on parole. I had to test but I told my parole officer I refuse, she told me to sign a paper saying I was dirty. Than she gave me a ultimatum to go to rehab or go to jail. You guessed it I picked jail and she said no your going to rehab. So here I am headed to rehab for the 10th time.

What it is like now?

So now it's good for me, I have a 4 year old daughter that ain't never seen me high or drunk. I'm about to start work.
