28-Year-Old Says Her Addiction To Drugs And Alcohol ‘Is My Life’

“My addiction to drugs and alcohol is my life. I feel like I cannot ever be sober,” says Cassie. “I’ve never been normal, so I don’t know how to act.”

Cassie says when she first started using drugs in high school, she did it to fit in and reward herself. “When I would make honor roll, or when I would do really well, or get an A on a test, I would say, ‘OK. Now it’s time for the crack or cocaine,’” the 28-year-old says.

Now, Cassie says she drinks two liters of vodka a day, and when she tried to stop, she had a seizure and almost died.

“I want to be clean and sober off everything. It’s so scary. I need healing,” Cassie says. “I need help. I’m going to die otherwise.”
