Experience in the area
I am a recovering addict with 5 years clean. I struggled with my addictions from the age of 13 until 24, when I finally checked myself into a Therapeutic Community for 14 months. I have been clean and sober ever since. I feel it is necessary to share my experience strength and hope with others who are still suffering with the disease of addiction, in order to continue my recovery. I know what it's like to be an addict. I know how hard life can be. I want to show people there is a better way. I also understand that confidentiality is extremely important. Your anonymity is my number one concern.
