In this personal testimony, Dallas Bragg recounts how he convinced himself he could use stimulants recreationally without losing control, believing his strong will and established life would protect him. Over two and a half years, his denial led to a rapid decline: he lost his job, became homeless, experienced intense paranoia and constant tweaking, and ultimately ended up in jail. Bragg frames his story as a stark warning, emphasizing that no one is immune to the drug’s power and urging listeners to stop using before it destroys their lives.

Chapters

I told myself I would never be one of those tweakers. I told myself that I was different, that I had a strong will, that I had already established a life, and that I could juggle all of it. I told myself that I could function and keep up with my job and do this recreationally and just have fun sometimes or on the weekends or holidays. I told myself I would not be one of those men who loses their mind, who loses their life. I told myself that my story would be different. And then 2 and a half years later, I was homeless, begging for money. No car, no job, tweaking out, out of my mind, paranoid, and finally in jail. You think you're different, you think you're special, and you think you can beat the system, but you can't. This drug will not let you. So stop.
