The drugs were to follow me to the grave

"I had a kind of death wish that the drugs would follow me to the grave," says Ingeborg (28), whom you meet in this episode of Yoga for livet. Right now she is in India to go deeper into yoga and do voluntary work, as part of Back in the Ring (BITR). Her death wish changed.

"In time I wanted to live, but I did not want to stop using," she says. She made a plan to look after her health better, live a little more healthily and get enough sleep, so that she could use drugs without dying of it.

"At the worst I was 19 and weighed 33 kilos. That would not work in the long run."

Today she is drug-free, and she describes it as a long struggle.

"I have not been able to face myself and all my feelings. The drugs became my way of coping, and I ended up among people who did not give me what I really needed. I felt that everything that happened, happened against me, and that I had no say. But I have found out that I do have something to say."
