Additional Information

I feel I would be a great addition to your team because I am from a rough back ground. I spent most of my youth in juvenile detention, until I was six-teen. I then went to prison where I served three and a half years. My 15+years of addiction started at the age of twelve where I started pills and upgraded to heroin. I have been clean and sober eleven years, three months, and nineteen days. I know the struggle of sobriety. Since I have been sober, I have been faced with many battles that would cause most addicts to relapse. I lost my dad,and both of my brothers, amongst the death of a few other people who I considered family. A huge whirl wind of events that uprooted my life. I wouldn't let myself relapse, and I thank the great support system I have. I would love the opportunity to help others with the same kinds of struggles I have faced. This road is long and hard and truly never over. With the right support and mentors, I believe everyone is capable of sobriety.
