“One Moment, One Decision: Heartbreaking Tales of Lives Forever Altered”
A friend of my parents was a good family man who loved his family. One day he was playing with his toddler and was playfully tossing her on the bed. She would get back up giggling and he would toss her again. In one of the tosses he threw her a bit too far and she hit a bed post. She lived but became bed bound unable to even talk. Not quite vegtable but close. He went to jail on child abuse. Lost his wife, his job and his little girl would bever be the same. The guilt was so much he ended it as soon as he could.
I did. Some drugs are fun with little to no consequence, while other, harder drugs completely take over and then theres drugs that fall everywhere in between…. I was a straight A student, Junior in Highschool, was going to prom with my first serious girlfriend in just a few weeks. Everything was going great, except…. I couldnt get any pot at all in the neighborhood I just moved to. After a few days without my normal tree smoke, I finally took the recomendation from a “friend” I just made in the new neighborhood, and purchased what narcotic they were selling. Just to try… figure it might hold me over till i get some green. My FIRST thought right after taking that first hit from the pipe was “How much $ could I sell ALL of my stuff for?” I kid you not, one hit, I WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED It took a little more than 12 yrs to kick my accidental crack habit. No job, No HS Diploma, no family, no friends, no possessions at all and 12 yrs just gone. And looking back… I really had no choice but to be a crackhead. There was no way I could stop, impossible…. No one wants to be a crackhead… it is the devils drug and I feel so bad for anyone who has ever crossed its path, because I promise… they can not make the choice to stop, no matter how bad they want to.
It was on the BBC news and have been documentaries about it.
