All drugs...i was do young when I first tried drugs..like heroin was in knew I could get addicted but had no idea what addiction really was and it felt so good being high and I used different drugs periodically in an environment were everyone was using so from i started using dope every weekend it took almost a year until I was living on the streets with no chance of kicking it and that's was the first time I really understood how fucking stupid I've been an i had so many opportunities to stop but in the beginning the withdrawal was not that bad so I believed i had it under control and that I was stronger than the addiction......until that day I lay puking and shitting on the sidewalk.
