Devin Donovan:我从小在混乱的家庭环境中长大,父母都沉迷于毒品,这给我留下了深刻的心理阴影。虽然我的祖母尽力给我提供了良好的生活,但我内心始终感到空虚,渴望父母的关爱。我亲眼目睹了父母因毒品而堕落,这让我对毒品产生了恐惧,但也让我更容易受到同伴的影响。青少年时期,我开始接触大麻和处方药,最终沉迷于海洛因,生活一落千丈。父亲因吸毒过世后,我更是陷入绝望,认为自己也会重蹈覆辙。我多次尝试戒毒,但都以失败告终,直到我意识到自己必须为自己的人生负责,才能摆脱毒品的控制。我开始积极参与戒毒互助小组,寻求专业心理辅导,并努力修复与家人的关系。现在,我已经戒毒三年,拥有了两个可爱的女儿,我决心成为一个负责任的父亲,给她们一个健康快乐的成长环境。我希望我的经历能够帮助那些正在与毒瘾作斗争的人,让他们知道,只要有决心,就一定能够战胜毒品,重获新生。 Devin Donovan:我最早接触毒品是在13、14岁左右,当时只是和普通孩子一样抽大麻。但后来,我开始和一些不良分子混在一起,他们引诱我尝试处方止痛药,比如Percocet。我很快就对这些药物产生了依赖,为了满足毒瘾,我不惜偷窃、抢劫,甚至出卖自己的身体。17、18岁时,我开始吸食海洛因,因为海洛因比处方药更便宜,更容易获得。我的生活彻底失控,我被学校开除,失去了工作,最终沦为街头流浪汉。我多次因吸毒被捕,进出戒毒所和监狱,但都无法摆脱毒品的诱惑。我感到绝望和无助,认为自己的人生已经彻底毁了。然而,我内心深处仍然渴望改变,渴望过上正常的生活。我开始反思自己的过去,意识到自己不能再沉溺于受害者心态,而是要为自己的人生负责。我开始积极参与戒毒互助小组,寻求专业心理辅导,并努力修复与家人的关系。现在,我已经戒毒三年,拥有了两个可爱的女儿,我决心成为一个负责任的父亲,给她们一个健康快乐的成长环境。我希望我的经历能够帮助那些正在与毒瘾作斗争的人,让他们知道,只要有决心,就一定能够战胜毒品,重获新生。
