A reformed drug addict, Abigail Sarpong, has urged the youth to abstain from the abuse of hard drugs, particularly cocaine and marijuana, to stay safe from destructive addictions.
According to the 30-year-old woman, addiction to drugs has curtailed the otherwise bright future of many young Ghanaians.
Sharing her experience on Ewiase Mu Nsem on Nhyira Fm, she posited that “you will not have a focused life because you always want to get money to do the drugs”.
Due to her addiction, Abigail appeared older than her age, and felt restless anytime she could not access drugs.
She lost everything, including her dignity, due to her addiction to hard drugs.
“It will make you a thief or a liar if you are not one,” she noted. “There is no positive future in taking cocaine and marijuana”.
The addiction, she said, leads to shame and guilt, and unnecessary cost to individuals, especially in terms of health.
Abigail managed to break out of her addiction and is currently recovering at a rehabilitation center.
"It’s just one month since I abandoned cocaine and marijuana and I can see massive improvement in my life," she observed.
She advised the youth to abstain from drugs since “there is no positive future in it, just a waste of time”.
