Drinking led to smoking pot. By the time I was in high school, I was drinking or smoking every day. I even got into selling drugs. I sold whatever I could get my hands on to support my habit.
My parents separated when I was 15. My father was an alcoholic. He was abusive, both physically and verbally. In 10th grade, I quit school and was kicked out of my house. I started living with older friends who were using. I experimented with every kind of drug from A to Z. While doing drugs, I continued to drink. Alcoholism was always my biggest problem.
I met a bartender and got married when I was in my early 20s. My wife got pregnant and miscarried. We never dealt with that, just tried to block it out by drinking and getting high. We both had addictions and that’s really what our marriage was based on. Not surprisingly, our marriage failed within two years.
