Ice Ice Baby

My name is Taylor Kurowski and I was addicted to ice.

But I am proud to announce that I am 12 hours clean.

For a couple days, I was addicted to ice. The ice was deemed socially unacceptable, so anytime I drank ice I had to be quite shady. I am too rushed in the morning and forgot to bring ice to school, but there were a couple students that served as dealers for me, (thank God they did or I would have remained parched because I took the assignment very seriously!). At home I mainly drink water with no ice, but I do like ice.

I don't have many interesting stories to share because nobody really noticed, especially in my family. Our family really keeps to themselves, which is nice in a way. But it concerned me...if I actually had an addiction, would they notice? I would hope they would. Even my friends didn't really pick up on anything. I put ice in my school lunch drink and they didn't think much of it. When one person asked I said "don't worry about it" and they dropped it. How shady is that?!

What I got from the experience is that it is hard to be an addict and get away with it. Just imagining that ice was socially unacceptable and illegal was challenging. I think that dealing with a drug that was actually illegal would be even worse! And I'm not sure if if would be worth it. I hope that I never believe that it's worth it...
