What kind of person becomes an addict? Someone  1  , with a lot of friends; or someone who is  2 from the rest, with only a few friends, or none at all? The 3 I am trying to make is that anyone can become an addict.

The only way that I  4  this out was by becoming an addict myself. I used to be a guy who was  5  in the popular crowd. Right before high school began, I started being  6  by most of my friends. I had never lived with the  7  that I had no friends, so I did almost anything to  8  the two good friends I still had. One of the things I did was  9  drugs for the first time. This was a big  10  from the way I lived when I was younger. I was a(n) 11 , and the last thing I thought I would get into was drugs. Drugs  12 me from being the best sports player I could be.
