ANNE MARIE

• I started using crystal meth when I was a senior in high school. before my first semester of
• college was up, meth became such a big problem that I had to drop out. I looked like I had
• chicken pox, from hours of staring at myself in the mirror and picking at myself.
• I spent all my time either doing meth, or trying to get it.” — anne Marie
