i was adopted at the age of 5 before adoption my brother and i were neglected and abused by my biological grandfather. for me after being adopted i was givin everything including much love. i had a hard time growing up fitting in and started using drugs at the age of 15 i have smoked pot since and experimented with other drugs from time to time i am now realizing why i have this disposition to addiction and push from others so hard it sucks but it is what it is so i am at this crossroads of quit smoking and deal with my childhood or keep going the way i have been and just get by
I have also had problems dealing with alcohol and drugs. I'm now 30 yrs old and have recently sent my abuser to prison. He was sentenced 22 june 2010, it has taken two and a half years for him to be brought to justice and throuh this period of over 2 years i have used alcohol to block out the memories, i use pot to help me sleep. I have contacted an orgaisation to help with the drinking. One thing at a time. I now see myself as someone who deserves to be happy and also have a life. Hopefully you realize that you are worth while human being and that it's only you that can stop using alcohol to forget about your past. I am on a waiting list at the moment to speak to a councillor. These are the steps i have taken as i don't want my abuser to win i want to be the winner. x
