When I was 15 a much older man forced me to try crack. The summer I turned 15 he asked me to walk to the store with him. We ended up at a bar and he said he was just buying some beer so I could come in and he bought me a shot. I had been drinking since I was 12 so I said sure ill take a shot then he asked me if i had to go to the bathroom and I said no but he told me to go and make sure. I thought it was wierd but I went anyway and when I finished and tried to open the door he came rushing in, locked the door and started touching me. I pushed him off and he said he would stop if i tried some of his crack. I didnt even know what it was but i tried it thinkin it was harmless. I got hooked. I am so mad at the fact someone would ruine a 15 yr old like that. It was partially my fault but if he hadnt pushed it on me i wouldnt be here relapsin on coke.

This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
It is is uncomfortable listen to your voice. There is smart recovery, mindful recovery, 16 steps to empowerment designed for Women....Women's shelter have loads of info on all of what you have been through. Been there myself...sexual abuse at age 7 drugs age 10 for about oh 30 years!!!! "Worked" the program and was heavily involved in P.R and starting new groups for a time they made sense,however; I grew beyond the steps...some stay with the steps some move on....listen to your voice....talk to counselors about alternatives...and empowerment ideologies with 2 dimensional focusing. (not to put down 12 steps just remember there is alternatives as well) one does not fit all...its it too diverse!
