What kind of person becomes an addict? Someone 1 , with a lot of friends; or someone who is 2 from the rest, with only a few friends, or none at all? The 3 I am trying to make is that anyone can become an addict.

I realized I could not live this way; I must stop the 17 of using drugs.

Since then, my 18 and actions have changed and so has my direction in life. I do see a future in water skiing. 　19, I haven't killed my chance in 20 . I know that I must keep a clear head first. Keep Coming Back. It works if you work it.
