“It just became part of my identity.
I’m just like, ‘I can do this so I can get through the day.’
And the weird thing for me, I would take uppers.
“He was similar.
He would use uppers as a way of focusing and relaxing.”
“My life became unmanageable as part of that.
I was just angry and sad and didn’t want to feel anything so it just created wreckage …
I was drinking to excess, damaging my relationship with my family, I was experiencing psychosis.”
“I’ve learned I’m not broken.
Despite experiencing traumatic events, I can recover.
And I am now on a path of healing and being the person I always wanted to be.”
