How I ended up as an addict
I'm an ex police officer. And this is my story.
As the day begins with a bright morning star, we find hope, gather ourselves, fix our broken pieces and solve our complicated puzzles. That's how it goes.
One blessed day we had another case concerning smuggling of drugs. That was our major problem. But the queson was ... Why would anyone be engaged? I brought an idea. What could that be? 🤔 Let's figure it out. I thought of going to one popular getto at Asiado to get closer to them . Knowing i would get more information and details, that will make everything easier for us. I for instance because I knew I would be promoted after. And arresting them would be demn easy. I never knew what i had gotten my self into.
The day had finally approached. I went to the getto and I was warmly welcomed. I was very surprised, they thought I was part of them which I wasn't. The smell of the weed and other herbs was making me feel dizzy. Alot of youths, both males and females. I asked my self if busy hairs was part of the package? Some were neatly dressed other's to were wearing dirty and tone cloths... Why had they chosen that paths?
One guy approached and he convinced me to have one stroke of weed, I didn't wanted them to notice anything so i tried😒😩😠💃 I think I'm seeing rainbow 🌈.I'm i in the middle of an ocean, I'm drowning, I think I'm sitting on a branch of a mango tree, I tried to plug a mango and boom I was on the ground. I started crying because my legs had vanished. What have I gotten myself into? I said to myself and I started weeping.
I felt ok. I didn't know if it took hours or minutes but I was ok. I went home and came back the next day. I begin to smoke until it became normal I didn't realize I was getting addicted. We became very cool, over there we were family. One particular day one guy started telling his story and how he got there. He was an orphan, rejected by his family. Nowhereto go no one to turn to. He found a helper and he brought him here, and ever since then, he had never thought of going back to his family. Another guy wearing tone clothes and he looked as if he had never bath in years. I'm not exaggerating though. He arted weeping he started telling us his story. He is coming from a rich family. He never lacked anything. His parents were business tycoons. He was their only son so they left him in Ghana with their properties (houses, hotels, companies, cars, etc). He was always partying thinking he had it all. He lost his parents a few years later. His family doctor informed him that he is having leukemia and he is having few months to live. He sold all the properties and spent everything. He was depressed. For weeks. two months later the doctor sent him a letter saying he was sorry he had delivered the wrong message at first it wasn't his results. Just put yourself into his shoes and think? He dropped out of school. he started stealing and ended up becoming a drug addict. I felt it. Another young lady started with hers another painful one. I realized they all smoked to forget all their pains.
I became part of them and ended up giving them information instead. The policemen never got hold of them. I was suspended years after because I wasn't punctual. I couldn't gather myself, fix my broken pieces, or even solve easy puzzles. I'm an addict now. I lost a lot but in the end ..... I ended up with a true FAMILY 👪.
