My name is Tara and I stared doing meth at 12. I was addicted to it right off the bat I did meth for 12 years and I have never seen such horrible stuff in my life. I went to jail I ran away I started having sex when I was 13. I had my first child at 16 I never finished school. I got so involved with myself and with meth I gave my son to my mom I was homeless and doing some pretty bad stuff to get my fix. At 20 I had my 2nd child and was still doing meth and I gave him to his grandma because I couldn't think about anything but meth and would do anything to get it. At 21 had my 3rd child and stopped doing meth- I was doing good on my own working paying my bills on time and doing the mom thing then one night had a friend come over and she pulled meth out and I started doing it and did it non-stop for the next 3 years and my baby went to live with my mom! So I went and lived in Nevada doing the whole meth thing partying and not caring about anyone or anything. I went to Colorado ­ got so high I couldn't handle it. I went to a party all I remember is sitting there on the couch and woke up in the bathroom screaming and to this day I still have no idea what happened and don't care to know. After that I called my mom and said I am done please can I come home she let me and I have been sober for over a year now. I have my kids back and I'm doing great but I know if I was to ever go back to that I would end up dead or locked up!
