So I had a good upbringing, but, um, I think a lot of my addiction started when I was moving around a lot when I was younger and had a hard time making friends. Um, and so I ended up hanging out with kids on the street and that kind of started my using and of course there there was some childhood trauma of course like I mean or teenage trauma that probably contributed to that because the addiction is trauma-based so um it says I think a lot of it was just that feeling of wanting to be needed and accepted um and so that played a huge part in um me starting my addiction
