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.

The only way that I  24  this out was by becoming an addict myself. I used to be a guy who was  25  in the popular crowd. Right before high school began, I started being  26  by most of my friends. I had never lived with the  27  that I had no friends, so I did almost anything to  28  the two good friends I still had. One of the things I did was  29  drugs for the first time. 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 .

I realized I could not live this way; I must stop the  37  of using drugs.

Since then, my  38  and actions have changed and so has my direction in life. I do see a future in water skiing.   39, I haven't killed my chance in  40 . I know that I must keep a clear head first. Keep Coming Back. It works if you work it.
