- Drugs
My name is Megan, and I am a recovering drug addict. I have been clean for a little over five months. I have struggled with addiction to painkillers since 2009. In 2012 I became addicted to methamphetamine. I used drugs to numb my physical and emotional pain. In January 2014 my relationship of 10 years ended. I hit rock bottom and felt that I was completely alone. I lost myself and almost lost everything including my son.
In August 2014 and with support of my family, I decided that I had had enough. The drugs were numbing all emotions including the positive ones, and I refused to lose my son to my addiction. My custody battle began, and my attorney advised I take court-ordered drug screenings. I have passed all drug tests since day one. I told them I would take a drug test every day if that’s what it would take. This saved my life and my family. I am now back to the happy, clean and sober me.
