THE SMELL OF DEATH
At age 21, I was introduced to ecstasy at after-hours and raves.
Then someone said, "Hey, take this line."
Sure enough, it was crystal meth, and I was hooked.
I took it all the time at work during the day for energy, and would stay up for three days at a time.
At first, I thought I was the happiest girl in the world.
Then I overdosed twice. I was becoming paranoid and thought everyone was out to kill me.
A friend told me, "You smell like death." And, sure enough, my body was rotting from the inside because of crystal. The smell is like no other.
I stopped doing the drug on my own and got counselling. Although I would slip up occasionally, once I became pregnant that stopped it altogether.
Today, I suffer constantly from nerve damage, anxiety and panic. But I have learned to cope.
Crystal meth is everywhere, especially among young teenagers. I just try to share my stories, hoping they will get scared.
And, if I ever get tempted, I just look at my daughter and say, "She is life."
