Question Twenty-Eight: What trouble have I had at work or school because of my addiction? What trouble have I had with my family as a result of my addiction?

I started using at 15, my freshman year in high school. From that point on, school went downhill for me. I failed out of nearly all of my classes. I had so few credits by the end of my sophomore year that my advisor informed me that I did not have enough time to complete all I needed to graduate...even if I took extra classes and did summer school. It was only through Running Start that I was able to graduate. I stopped going to classes. I did the work only to keep myself occupied, but never turned it in. I cut off my friends. I quit calling anyone...quit answering the phone.

Now, work has been the same. My attendance at all my jobs has been TERRIBLE! Sometimes I just didn't go because I didn't want to. I justified it because I was "sick"...just not sick enough to stay home from work.
