A good will can change the life

I am Mr.Titu, start to smoke with my friends out of curiosity as a teenager. This was the first step in my drug use. After that I often smoked cigarettes and smoked Gaza. At one point I became a chain smoker as it gradually became my habit. In the spare time I got after that, I try to get to know the outside world and start living an outward life. Then I got acquainted with some friend’s those who used heroin. Out of curiosity and some self-interest, I started to take heroin on my own aria. Firstly, I have a funny feeling that I think I have never found this joy anywhere else. The first day was a bit of a hassle but after that I used to take drugs often. Gradually I became addicted to the heroin. When I unknowingly make drugs is
a part of my life. One of the friends told me that if you want to get rid of heroin, you have to start inject drugs by TT and I start it. Due to family reason I can’t read more, I want money from my father to do something at a time, but he tells me to do business without giving me money. My sister’s wedding expenses; I opened a tea shop in my own area. Till now my family not known about my drug taking.
Doing business there could not be successful in any year and a lot of money is wasted. Then one day everyone will know about my drug use. From the failure I became more and more acquainted with heroin and various new injections. Once upon a time I fell in love with one of these girls. She wants to marry me when I get better. I assured him I would get better. We get married, have a son and I can’t
change my life. At one point my wife started doing business with me and kept trying to make me better.

The beginning of my childhood was not good. My father was a day laborer. I am the only son of the parents. They loved me very much because I had only one son. There were five of us in our family. So it was very difficult for my father to run the family. From the beginning of my life, everyone raised me with a lot of love. When I started going to school, I didn’t have any good clothes. I would go to school wearing clothes given to me by others. I had some friends when I went to school. I go to school with them every day. One of them was a friend whose father used to get drugs. He always gave his friends a bad idea. While staying with him, I started smoking one day. Gaza for a while after that. The family found out and kicked me out of the house. Since then I have been involved with all kinds of drugs. I have had physical, mental, spiritual, familial, social degradation. Besides, I have become the object of hatred in the family and society. One upon I told to a big brother in my area, how I will be drug free? He said to start ampoule from now so you can quit. I started to ampoule as he said. Two years later, I was in  rehabilitation treatment for 14 days. After that I was fine for a long time and was with family. Then my life went very well. I keep looking for work. Some days I get drug again. I will not read or write  anymore, at once upon a time I want money from my father to do something. But my father told me not to pay, where I can get so much money. I have two daughters to marry. Eventually the father asked to do business with the money that he had saved for my sister’s wedding. I opened a tea shop in my own area. Till now my family not known about my drug taking. Doing business there could not be successful in any year and a lot of money is wasted. Then one day everyone will know about my drug use. From the failure I became more and more acquainted with heroin and various new injections. I fell in love with one of these girls. She wants to marry me when I get better. I assured him I would get better.

In January 2018, I feel like, I’m pushing my life into the drug. Then I think I will leave these. I told the family to quit drugs. One day A friend introduced me to Mr. Shariful Islam bhai, community organizer of APOSH, He refer to the APOSH, Khorbona outlet Office. I like their supportive counseling and helping attitude and at one stage I became a mother list. They give me all kinds of services. This saved me some
change. By the support of Khorbona outlet of APOSH I enrolled for OST treatment to Save the children implementing OST center at Terokhadia, Rajshahi on 5 July 2020. There I started taking OST in collaboration with doctors and counselors also my family has helped me a lot. Counselor always looking for me. I have taking OST medicine regular basis. Now I think I have come back from my drug life and
recover now. I have been well for about 9 months and I am having a happy day with my family. With the help of Word Counselor representatives, I started a tea shop business. My tea stall business is going well my wife takes me to the OST center every day and the business stays by my side.

For the last 105 years, I have not been able to fast a single day. Every day after iftar I go to the OST center to accepting OST. Not only me some OST user are now fasting regularly and taking OST.
