i hearby pledge to quit doing drugs, and to stop drinking until i turn 21.
it's sad that it took so long, and so many lives changed and lost for me to finally make this pledge to myself. i'm only 20 and i've known so many people who've gone to jail, been put on probation, and have had too many close calls to count. i'm only 20 and i've already lost my brother to overdose, a friend josh to overdose, and then, this morning, a close friend's brother (and also a friend) cory to overdose.
i cannot keep doing what i'm doing knowing that one day, i could get caught. one day, i may go to jail. one day, i may lose a loved one because of my actions. one day, i myself may die.
i cannot keep risking my life for a wasted night that i wont remember in the morning.
i'm doing this for the family members lost to alcoholism.
i'm doing this for the friends lost to overdose and addiction.
i'm doing this so that my mother will never have to bury me.
i'm doing this so that i may have the future i know i deserve.
i'm doing this for you, for me, for everyone who cares.
i'm doing this for Wesley Luce, Josh Leonard, and Cory Taylor.
i'm doing this for them, because they didn't have the chance to do it for themselves.
RIP, Cory. We will all miss you very much.
