I couldn’t help myself. I used again. The voices in my head kept telling me just one more time. I tried to ignore them but they kept getting louder and louder. So I did. I put the needle in my arm and overdosed. How could I have been so foolish. I woke up surrounded by a team of doctores. “You’re lucky to be alive, sir,” one of them said. I looked in the mirror. Time to get sober for good, I thought. I can’t let this happen again. I have kids to take care of.
