She said: > I used to feel strong and had cravings during my first days here. I felt like escaping but not anymore. I told myself that change begins with me. What I want is to change for myself > … They have given me six weeks here, but I feel like I have detoxed successfully because I was already off mutoriro for two weeks before I came here. I am begging them with my life because this will end up affecting me. According to narcotic experts, about six out of 10 patients admitted to mental institutions suffer drug-related issues. But Tamar insists she wants her freedom back. She said: > I want to change for myself. This drug is destroying my brain cells, I literally become just like a zombie. > I want to change for my country and women, those girls who are being abused in those drug houses. > I would not want to be back here anymore. The only time you will find me back here, I will be helping people. > She said she got hooked to other drugs and eventually crystal meth after she left home at the tender age of 16. She moved and stayed with a friend in Chitungwiza after her mother re-married. Her friend, a drug user, introduced Tamar to all forms of illicit drugs like mbanje, codeine (ngoma) and other narcotics. Said, Tamar: > Sometimes, I would be given a fix and get raped afterwards or gang-raped. My friend was also gang-raped. It is painful, this must stop and should not continue anymore. > These drug lords are using young girls to attract customers, but most of them end up being abused sexually and do not get anything out of it. > It is high time we stop this. Someone was stabbed 15 times while I watched in my house. At some point, they were using my house as a drug house. Because of a mutoriro (crystal meth) straw, someone was stabbed 15 times. > The person is wanted by the police and could not report. He survived, but it was the toughest thing I have faced in life. I still have nasty flashbacks. She remains grateful to a local non-governmental organisation, Mubatirapamwe, for showing her a new path. An articulate and intelligent young woman, Tamar dreams of becoming a lawyer one day but first, she must walk a long and arduous journey to recovery. *More: The NewsHawks* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
