Hi, I am 19 years old and about 3 months ago I stopped using Benzo's to be in particular Xanax. Well I have this assignment for my psychology class to intreview someone who has been addicted or abused drugs and gotten help and well I was thinking about doing the interview on myself but I think its lame and the easy way out. But I am the only person I know who has abused drugs. Will someone be willing to answer these questions? Thank you very much.
