DEDICATION

I wanna dedicate this book to my mother and father for being there for me in 2004 during the most troubled time in my life. I also would like to thank my two brothers Chris and Jason. Everything I do is for my family. After all the hurt and pain, I think it’s only right that I dedicate this memoir to the ones that have been there for me through it all.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

This book is dedicated to young adults who are surrounded by peer pressure on a daily basis. Your decisions play a very big part in how your life can turn out. Unfortunately not every person that does drugs for the first time will be able to recover to tell their story... like myself.
