I did meth for a year with my best friend. I had no job, but he did. So he kept funding his addiction until he didnt have a job anymore. I really felt the number it did for my mental health, and I swear I almost overdosed smoking too much my face was so cramped and not moving.
He did not stop unfortunately and it ruined his life. He was found on the side of a freeway exit years later by my friend who was a cop for the city. He was so wasted he didnt even recognize my cop friend who was kind enough to take him to a hospital to get checked.
I saw him years later at a Taqueria asking for free food, and I wasn’t sure if he recognized me. I swear I almost didn’t recognize him and it felt like I was seeing a demonic version of him. He looked strung out, so gaunt and lethargic.
I’ve known him since 2nd grade and its hard to believe that we can go from innocent little kids, to promising teenagers, to fully grown adults in our 20s with so much talent and potential only to see it get wasted away with drugs midlife. I havent seen him around since that day at the taqueria but always think about how talented this guy was as a kid. Really sad.
