What kind of person becomes an addict? Someone  21  , with a lot of friends; or someone who is  22 from the rest, with only a few friends, or none at all? The 23 I am trying to make is that anyone can become an addict.

This was a big  30  from the way I lived when I was younger. I was a(n) 31 , and the last thing I thought I would get into was drugs. Drugs  32 me from being the best sports player I could be.
I  33  to smoke drugs after I entered high school because that was what my new "cool" friends were  34 . The next three years were filled with many  35 , I was arrested twice, and lost my license for two years. This made me sad and  36 .
