01 What it was like
Heroin addiction is hell on earth. Most people who have tried it get sucked into the clutches of its misery, and can never stop on their own. My whole existence was to pursue this devil worshipping drug. I say that be because all my actions were solely selfish and no regard to anyone or anything.. just to continue chasing the Dragon.

02 What happened
After many attempts to stop and relapses... I got tired of feeling like a broke loser and regain my health. Feel more alive and my age. I started going to HA meetings in my area and began working 12 steps after I left the state to detox.
03 What it is like now
I couldn't of dreamed of a better outcome for myself or anyone else for that matter. I meditate daily and continue to serve myself and others in the recovery process. A process it is. But finding true enlightenment is the outcome. Thank you
