Overcoming Conflict

when a jessica was 14 years old, she started using drugs. it started with marijuana, and then progressed into pain killers, and eventually cocaine. she used these drugs at least once a day for a few years. Jessica lost her boyfriend, her job and dropped out of school because the drugs took so much control of her. she was always depressed when she came off the drugs, and thirsted for more. that is when she realized she had to quit. Jessica is working very hard and getting and staying clean, but she says that it's hard for her to. her body tells her that she needs it. however, when she goes a whole day without using, she feels so good about herself. in the article, she really stresses how one should never get started on drugs. they ruin your life and some people can never get their lives back together. even though jessica hasn't completely overcome her addiction, she is working at it every minute of every day and i am very happy for her.
