Man! This really stinks chicas!!! I can't blame you though because I fell in this same trap when I was in that age bracket. Look, I get it! Life can be stressful! Our parents can seem nuts sometimes! Home-work is killer! But we need to realize that as much as we want to believe that we are in control and that we won't get hooked and that we can quit whenever we want.... the truth is: that is a LIE FROM YOU KNOW WHERE!!!
I thought I was stronger than all the stuff I messed around with. I thought that at any given moment, whenever I was "over it", I was going to be able to walk away and say: "I'm done." Well, guess what? It wasn't with some -not so fun- repercussions that scared me half to death when I finally realized I needed to RUN away from the stuff I was using and the people that were influencing or providing it!
I remember one day watching a sitcom at home when, in the middle of a funny scene, I started bawling my eyes out! Literally, in the floor, face on the ground, sobbing! Why? I had no idea at the time! So, I did some research and found out that the culprit was entirely all the junk I had been putting in my system. I had abused it so badly that I sent brain into a chemical depression. This happens when your happy hormones are out of whack and your body feels ridiculously sad for no reason other than the chemicals in your brain are fried!
By the grace of the one and only God, perfect healer and perfect physician, that after that scare and running away from it all, I slowly recovered and now have no lingering side effects from my stupidity. Sadly I cannot say the same for some of my old friends. One of which ended up in a mental institution.
Listen, I'm not trying to scare you from doing this! Hopefully you are smarter than I was and won't come near the stuff! EVER! But if you are like me, you think you are stronger, or just plain curious, PLEASE reconsider! This is no joke! It can ruin your life and the life of those around you who LOVE YOU!!!
Ok, that's my soap box moment of the day! Feel free to comment or hit me up via email through my website if you need someone to talk to!
Love and blessings,
