Drug Addiction Information

Rollercoaster (3)

I decided that on my own I had to get a hold of my drug and alcohol problem. I slowed down only drinking twice a week, but I continued to smoke marijuana and took painkillers on and off. I managed to do average in all of my classes that semester and was feeling stronger and more confident that I could overcome it. I stayed at college in the summer and made up the classes that I had failed the first semester. I was still using marijuana and drinking recreationally but felt that it was ok because I had stopped using the hard drugs.

That next year things were pretty calm. I had a steady boyfriend that I really cared about and I was supressing my drug addiction. I began to do really good in school and finished the next two semesters. In order to graduate with an associate degree, I needed two more classes so I stayed another summer to finish. At the end of June I graduated with an Associate of Communication.

My boyfriend and I moved to a college town in Pennsylvania because he had finished his education. I began an internship at a local magazine where I worked as a writer and photographer. Things seemed pretty calm. I was still using marijuana and drinking on occasion but while I was supressing it, my addiction was doing push-ups.
