Write a story ending with the expression: “Since then I have always tried to avoid bad company.”
I was young and naive when I first met them. They were older and cooler than me, and they seemed to know everything. They introduced me to drugs and alcohol, and I quickly fell in with their crowd. We would party all night, and I would do whatever they said.
One night, we were at a party and I got really drunk. I don't remember much about what happened, but I woke up the next morning in a strange place with no idea how I got there. I was scared and alone, and I realized that I had made a big mistake.
I cut ties with those people and started to get my life back on track. I went to rehab and got sober, and I started to make new friends who were positive influences in my life. I learned my lesson, and since then I have always tried to avoid bad company.
I know that I am lucky to have escaped that situation with my life and my health intact. I am grateful for the second chance that I was given, and I am determined to make the most of it. I am now a successful businessman, and I am a good role model for my children. I am living proof that it is possible to turn your life around, and I am committed to helping others who are struggling with addiction.
I will never forget the lesson that I learned from that experience. I know that bad company can lead to bad things, and I will always be careful to surround myself with positive people who will support me on my journey.
