This is not Important or Interesting

[Don't judge my intelligence by this]

Nobody to talk to. Nothing to do but melt my brain with pornography, as the descent begins.

I keep ending up here, alone and empty and melodramatic and introspective and too stupid to express it in any kind of legitimate artistic form.

I used to be smart, I swear.
I used to want to write, but re-reading my journal of drug induced rants degrades my writing ability so.

Methamphetamine has been a part of my life since birth. I lived in it's shadow growing up. The shadow of destruction and depravity. My first memories are those of my mother, having meth induced sex, involved in violence. It was foreshadowing. A taste of the cold.

21 years have passed since my my conception, and I am my mother's son.
I love dope. I have far surpassed my mom's addiction.
I stick needles in my arm. I can stick fifty dollars in my arm without a second though.
I love dope more than anything in the world. I don't hate it either, even though I should. I hate whatever stands in the way of having more.
Health problems, money problems, no real relationships anymore.
I am a willing slave.

But then moments of clarity strike.
Horrified and ashamed of my life.
The waste. I used to be smart.
My mom had a masters in special education. She taught autistic children. Despite her addiction, she made something of herself.
Only to have it taken away by dope.
I've been spent my entire life seeing and experiencing the consequences of dope, but here I am. On my knees. Before the destroyer. I need to run. But I have nowhere left to run to. Penniless, living in my best friends house rent free on the floor, families turned their back on me.

And I used to be so smart.

Today I'm gonna do something.
I'm gonna go brave the city, coming down. Take it like the hardened drug addict I am. Look for a job.

Now! Before I have time to write any more drug induced shameless self-pity (it's not even well written!)
 
I will not pretend to know the depths of your addiction with this monster as it one I have avoided at least for the most part. I do however serve another beast and a slave to addiction all the same. I will only wish you well and add that saying things like this even behind the anonymity of an internet forum is a good first step to shedding those chains. Brave the world today coming down and call it day one. If you should falter and go back to this thing that enslaves you try to shed it once more and call it day one again. As many day ones as it takes to get to a day two and so on. You are stronger than any drug if you truly have the will to better your life.

Also wanted to add this is in no way poorly written and you should come here and post the pains and plight of your struggle with this drug more. It may help others and will certainly help you. You are still a smart kid I can tell from your writing your mind may just be a big foggy from the haze of addiction. If you choose to no longer be this slave that fog will slowly lift and you will find your old self in the clearing waiting for you. Good luck to you in the future friend.
