- afraid of finding my own grave." -Jenny
THE REALITY AFTER A "TRIP"
- "I started drinking at the age of 15, then it progressed to speed, ecstasy, cocaine
- and LSD. I found it difficult to keep a job and became depressed, never thinking I would overcome my
- addiction. I saw psychiatrists and was put under more drugs, tranquilizers and antidepressants, which
- didn't help. Without my drugs as an outlet for my feelings anymore, I took to self-harm and started
- cutting and burning myself." -Justin
