Kicked out of home
I am addicted to heroin and my parents want me to quit. I refused and they kicked me out of their house. Now I am homeless and have no job. -
Still homeless
I don't have much money left. Drugs are very expensive. Having this addiction effects me because I am losing my money. I can't afford anything I want. I need a job. I could find many jobs if I managed to get off the street and turn my life around. If I had a criminal record from my drug use, I would not be able to get a job, I would not be ble to have a happy life. -
After approximatluy a month
I've been looking for a job for almost a month. The averge lifespan of a homeless person addicted to drugs is over a few years or maybe even less if you don't have the food and water you need. Not having the food and water I need makes me have less energy to look for jobs. Not having clean clothes and shelter make people not want to look at me. This effects my health a lot because i'm not clean, I don't have the food I need and I have no warmth. -
Trying to quit
I looked for jobs, no one wants to hire someone like me. I'm filthy and always tired. Thats when I said "I need to quit". I just couldn't and I tried to attend a rehabilitation center. The closest one was about three blocks away from the street I am living in. Rehabilitation takes differant amount of years. It all depends on what kind of person you are.For some people it takes about 24 years for others it doesn't. I am the person who just can't quit, I rather go back to drugs. -
Thats the end of me
Many diseases are contracted by people sharing needles. Some like Endocarditis, Hepatitis, HIV, Aids, Htlv and many, many, many more. Getting one of those might effect me because I might die and lose my family. If I only quit before, none of this would happen. I have passed away for being addicted to heroin for to long and for not getting the trements I need.
