Personal Story | | How I Got Clean I starting drinking when I was 8 or 9 but when I started geting into real trouble was when I was 17 living in a rooming house for a short time. My first night there I stared drinking and smoking weed but I want to be like everyone else but a week later I got my D.W.I driving a freind car. I black out behind the wheel and hit a police car. Boy going to jail was scarry the first time. My folk where out of town and when they got back i called them. My dad said you got yourself in that mess and get your self out. I spent a month in jail and lose my license for a year. So I really thought nothing about it. Then about about a year latter I was back again drink and smoking weed and I got into a fight with my roommate. I stold a truck for my boss and was leaving town only to get on the street and get pull off and went to jail and change with my second D.W.I but thank God my boss didn't press charges for stealing his truck. I spent another 30 day in jail and lose my license for another year. So I lose my job and my apt. and everything so I left Dallas and went to tytler with 120 dollars in search for my real mother and stepfather with it took only about one day thankgod so we meet and had a good time my stepfather was drinking and i ask could i have some so I started drinking his wine. And I blackout because I wakes up in jail for public drinkness but I was taken to hospiled because they didn't know what was wrong with me. So I didn't drink for awail till I went to longveiw to mission down there about six months latter where I met these guy drink maddog 20/20 when i get up getting rob and going to jail for public drink. for about a day. When i got a found the mission and peacher was worried about me because when i got rob I must have past out and on of the guys try to protected me had to go to hospilal because the other guy who rob me hit him in the head but he was alright. I had once a gain quit for a wail till I came back to dallas once again to find the doors here with my parents closed my dad gave $20 and said have a good life and i met a man on my way downtown and we diceid to share a loock at the bus station and we did.
