Go Ask Alice - Anonymous pg. 65-111

I can barely set the book down. Its like shes turning into a completely different person... slowly morphing into the person she is when shes on drugs. So many things have happened in so short of a time its almost overwhelming! Like I said in the last post, her and Chris ran off to San Fransisco with barely any money and no plan for anything. They find a dirty, smelly, old apartment with one room and a used matress for a bed. They both find jobs, and are barely living. They rarely think about drugs, until Sheila, Chris' boss at work, invites them to a high class party where people are smoking pot. Soon, Sheila introduces them to heroin, which got them into a lot of bad situations. Finally, they both ran off to Berkeley and started their own boutique. They turned their aparentment into a really cute showroom and made pretty good money on the things they were selling. The kids who came in there always talked about selling/using drugs, and it got old to the girls. Finally, they called their parents and took the next flight home. Their parents cried with joy and brought them in with open arms. The girls couldn't be more excited.

It was Christmas time, and she spent time with her family. She was having the time of her life, and soon went back to school. She went to dances, hung out with friends, and it was almost like she had been in high school all along. Everything was going great until she started selling to kids at school. Once she got back into the drug scene again, she went out of control. One day when she was high, she hitch hiked to Denver with nothing but the clothes on her back. Shes basically homeless, sleeping on the streets and eating at the homeless shelter, until she meets Doris, who lets her live with her at her apartment. This apartment is worse than the one in San Fransisco, and all she has now is smelly clothes and drugs. Shes at the lowest point in her life at this point.

This book is addicting! I can't wait to finish it. It blows my mind that someone could mess up their life this much for drugs. Unfortunately, its reality and its happening more and more everyday. She lived a perfectly good life with a good family and money. Drugs took over her life and now that is all she thinks about. She would give up anything to be high. Its really sad.
