I have had this addiction for 8 years and have come to a turning point.
I was so deep down in this addiction I couldn’t feel anything, I was like a empty shell with panic, full of shame and no joy for life.
I kept this secret for myself all this time until one day, when in decided to tell my family. This was a hard decision, the hardest thing I’ve ever Done. I was so close to ends this instead of telling them, but I didn’t.
After this and the News that I will have a son changed me, now I want to reach out to peoples in the same situation and try to reach young people and make a difference.
Best regards,
