MY WHY

I have personally struggled with drug addiction for a very long time and it happened at a really young age. After going to a few rehabs I learned a few things, and one of those things is to stay sober I have to be in service to others. Cant relapse if you’re actively helping others to stay sober. My father was a severe alcoholic during my childhood and Ive had many friends lose their lives to addiction and depression. Last year, August 16 of 2023, I lost mygirlfriend to addiction. She passed away in her sleep due to an overdose and that was the last straw for me. I intend to help people be sober and stay sober so that they may never have to feel that feeling or be the reason someone has to feel that feeling.
