Where Would I Have Been?

When I’m speaking in high schools, I often get the question, “Mr. Bylsma, do you still suffer from the effects of your drug use?”
I usually tell them that while no one is ever completely the same after being addicted to drugs or alcohol, it couldn’t be said that I am still addicted. It did take years to recover and while I’m no longer addicted, (I haven’t used speed in thirty four years and can’t remember the last time I followed one beer with another), it also isn’t true that I’m the same as I would have been had I never taken the first hit.
