they say that going back on the drugs after trying to quit is part of the getting off process. sometimes it takes a few tries before you end the bad habit for ever. you learn new lows from continuing the nasty habit and you remember that bad life and think oh not that shit again, i was miserable, i had a bad life, etc, then u get off it again. then u start it off again, cos u stillhave those thought patterns of having the comfort of taking the drug, but the life is shit and u dont go anywhere.

Most of everyone would be too ashamed or infatuated by their own pride to get over themselves and get past how embarassing their past decisions have created their destruction, but this man has overcome that folly and decided to use his own mistake to benefit and warn his community of the dangers of meth.
