Three page first person account of a woman's drug addiction. It touches on cultural aspects: "I'm 28 years old, have never had a real job and I and live at home with my parents and five siblings, which might be part of why I've never had much freedom or agency." She descends a long way and then is saved by faith in God. Although not compelling for undergraduates, this might do well in a community group setting because it humanizes the addict.
