Personal Narrative: My Life Of LSD

Improved Essays
My name is Lily Stephens, I’m 22 years old and addicted to LSD.
I own an apartment in Southport. I live by myself although I have friends who live in apartments below me. I grew up in Griffith, a small city in New South Wales. I come from a very wealthy Italian family, my family were involved in the 1998-2010 Melbourne gangland wars. I guess drugs have always been a part of my life.

Growing up, members of my family were always on the news for something drug related. I never really understood all the trouble that drugs had caused for my family. Every time a major drug find occured in Melbourne, you could guarantee my cousins had something to do with it.

During the 80’s and 90’s, my uncle Victor was involved in the manufacture, distribution and supply of many drugs including LSD. I can’t remember meeting my uncle, although my Father was very close with him right up until his death. Anyway, back to my story now.

I didn’t want to believe that I was an addict, I didn’t want to be looked down on by people. I never used to be one to tell you that drugs are bad.. There was nothing that you could say or do to convince me that what I was doing was wrong. Quite frankly, I didn’t care anyway. You see, I think the drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. You know, the musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced our lives throughout the years were real high on drugs. It’s simply brilliant if you ask

One girl made her mother promise every night that she would not leave to do drugs, and another said that she had hope that her mother would stop one…
