If you have gone through a drug addiction or have been close to someone who has, share that experience in order to help others who are going through, or have gone through the same thing.

What were your experiences with drugs? Feel free to write your experiences the way you wish. You can use your own ideas, or use the questions below as a guide. In the event you use a question, you should only answer that question. You may also answer several questions in separate entries and allow us to choose the best one for the book. Whatever your preference, only a maximum of 2,000 characters will be published.
