ok. i've type this out once already. here we go again. Now lynn (jolsolhee) gave me the idea to put my story up here. so here i go...
I was born in California. Raised in cali. learned to surf in cali. and learned how to drugs in cali. i'll explain that later. when i was 3 my parents divorced. my mom married my former stepdad when i was little. he's an ex-marine alcoholic who likes to pick on people smaller then him, which is why i don't like people picking on people smaller then them. well, i used to get into small fights with my him, but when i was thirteen i was aggravated, and stoned (later), and he got in my face. Well, being the rebelious little teen i was, i told him to F*** off and mind his own business. Well, he didn't like that too much. I ended up getting thrown face first into a cabinet/counter. I'm not sure how long i was out, but i eventually came too. When i did, i walked into the family where he was on the couch. I came up to him and got in his face and punched him in the face. Broke his nose. Long story short, i hospitalized him for 2 days and then he tried to get me arrested, but it was self defense. My mom ended up divorcing him the following week. And that's my parental story. I now live with my mom and my uncle. My dad lives in Ohio.
Like i said, i've done drugs. When i was 9 my 15 year old cousin introduced me to weed. Well, that was interesting, i was a "weekend warrior". I was getting high every weekend till 8th grade. In 8th grade i tried coke. And i liked it, so i went to X, Shrooms, OTC's (over the counters), and i eventually started doing heroin my freshman year. Well, freshman year i got busted with a small amount of heroin and i ended up spending 45 days in cook county jail. I started out on B block, which is like an intermediate type of block. For those of you who don't know, a block is a group of cells. After 15 days i got moved to A block which is the christian block. I was a christian, but i didn't really understand what it truly meant to be a christian. I went to church almost every weekend and i believed in God and such, but i didn't TRULY understand what a christian was. I learned in A block what a christian was. It was the best thing to ever happen to me. I re-committed myself to Christ during that time. Well, i got out of jail on March 29th, 2002. I had been put in on Feb. 12th, 2002. I've been sober ever since that day. I'll have 1 year and 6 months on August 12th, 2003. It's been an interesting year. I've had my fair amount of chances to screw up, but i haven't. I've wanted to, and i almost did. I got to the point to wear i bought a little bit of heroin and started cooking it up and i had it in the needle and something hit me. I couldn't figure out why i was doing this. I broke the needle and threw it and the heroin in a dumpster. Well, that's my story. Questions, Comments, e-mail or IM me.
