Addiction Scott Turner

I can talk about drug addiction simple because for pretty close to thirty years I was addicted to speed and cocaine to the point of robbing, destroying and eventually killing in order to feed my habit and stay high no matter what. As a young man of 15 years, I was addicted to marijuana and sex to a degree of total ignorance that led me sticking needles into my arms for more satisfaction than what I was getting. It was many years later that I realized I was always chasing that very first high that I was never goingto receive again; in my ignorance of that it just got worst. My life got to the point at a very young age that I did not care who got in my way and if they would not move, I would go over them and that led me being homeless without hope and as a prideful young man that just made life worst for me and others likewise. In my selfish pride and ignorance I would just show the world I did not need them, they needed me and that was the bottom line, Arrogance huh? you would never believe just by me telling it, but my momma would be the one to let you know. Drugs led me to kill, steal and destroy everyone that was in my life and the penitentiary could not hold me. The jails could not keep me long enough to do much good before releasing me on some petty crimes I had done to get me jailed a couple of months. I used to eat to gain my weight back to look presentable to the world and I would be gone again. I have a saintly grandmother that has been praying for my wretched soul through all of my young life and I know that why I was allowed to endure all of the harm I have done to myself and my family down the years
