I'm 24 years old and was a very heavy drinker/user. I checked myself into a 28 day treatment center where I safely detoxed, learned all about addiction and did some counseling as well. I was so sick and f*cked up I decided to put my life on hold because I was living like a vagabond of the western world. A real drunken red eyed bruised beastard who didn't care about myself. Now (after treatment) I live in a halfway house here in FL. I'm from Baltimore. I will be here six months, I go to AA meetings everyday, have a sponsor and am working the steps. I also have a job. I have been sober 80 somthing days.
