Social Context: From the age of 19-21 I struggled with a severe addiction to cocaine. The call of being cool and in the in crowd with the people I was hanging with took ahold of me and took me to one of the darkest places in my life.

Bookmark: Although I am not proud of the fact that I let this kind of addiction get a hold of me I can proudly say that I came, I saw, I conqured. This experience in my life opened a window for me of what I didn't want for my life. I believe that having this expierence in my life showed me what I wanted for my life.
