| WHY I STARTED TAKING DRUGS |
 I started smoking weed when I was 16 - that's a lot later than most of my mates but I never wanted to take drugs. I was always against it for me - I started drinking when I was younger but had something against other drugs. If I'm honest I was afraid of them too and things around the law.
I started smoking when I was in a band, the reason was because I'd broken up with my girlfriend and I was really unhappy. I got to a point where I just let go and I didn't care what harmed me. I started to drink a lot more too and then take other things, pills, speed, acid, opium anything I could get my hands on. I never had any money so it was not so easy at times but there's always someone ready to share their gear.
I coughed up blood that first winter and got really depressed even suicidal at one point but I got through it. If we'd have stayed together I'd have just stuck with the alchohol - the odd drinking binge now and then. I've sort of got over her now but think about her quite a lot, I still feel sad.
The drug thing has harmed me in some ways but it's also made me realise a few things. I'm different now and a better person in some ways but yeah it did put me at a lot of risk at times. I've done some really stupid things and it's done my head in at times. I'm coming out of it now but there's been some bad times as well as some good things.
