From Sobriety to Success
I had been a good student and worked hard to become a doctor. I got admission in medical college I had a dream to become doctor. I used to study with my class fellows till late night. I had to stay with them at their home. One of our college fellow used to take medicine to be more energetic to study for a longer time. One day , me too used that medicine . I felt too good and energetic. So, I started taking medicine on daily basis . When I did not take medicine, I used to feel lethargic. Till final year of my college life, I had become an addict of medicine.
After becoming doctor, I started practise in posh area of my city. My clinic was running well. After sometimes, I also started injecting myself. The da y came when every one of my area knew about my addiction and used to call me junky doctor.
One day, a patient came to my clinic and said that he has been recovered from addiction of medicine, therefore, he does not want him to prescribe that medicine. That made me feel ashamed of my self. I inquired about his treatment and approached same treatment and rehabilitation centre.
Thanks God, I am now leading a sober life
Imitating behavior leads to addiction
Though, I was youngest in my family, I got too much attention andlove from all of my family members. I was close to my eldest brother who was addicted to cannabis. He used to smoke cannabis in front of me. I used to notice him and one day, in his absence, I took one cigratte. I did not know how to smoke but I tried. That led to addiction and I became an addict of cannabis till the age of 17 years. After that, I started taking heroin too.
My fiancee tried to convince me to quit drugs but I could not. I used to buy drugs from drug peddler and used it in front of my fiancee. As a result, my relationship was broken . I am still taking drugs and waiting for death.
Addiction: A threat for whole family
I belong to a reputable religious family . My elder brother is a hafiz-e-Quran . He is married having three children. My father sent me to a renowned center for relgious education in Multan. One day, I got news about my elder brother's addiction so I had to discontinue my studies and came back to Karachi . He was taking drugs for last five years . He used to buy drugs from a peddler who also used his sister for this purpose. My brother had sexual relationship with his sister. I tried my best to get treatment for my brother but I failed. More than 20 times, treatment has been given to him but he did not sustain his recovery.
My brother also involved in drug selling and has been arrested by police. I had to go to police station to resolve this matter. I am earning member of my family. I have to take care of my family, brother's children and managing addicted brother. Sometimes, hopelessness rules over me and I see darkness in future
