GR's Success Story

Doing drugs was a part of my daily routine. In fact, it became my daily routine. I not only jeopardized, but sacrificed everything I had going for myself. I went from being an A student to a dropout. I went from a dedicated, spirited person to a beat-up, discouraged and unhappy heroin addict. I isolated from the people that loved me and surrounded myself with people who used me. I went from being proud to being ashamed.

It was obvious drugs had weakened and defeated me. I realized since being here that I made the decision to let that happen and in the same way I could decide to become drug-free and rebuild a life for myself I could respect and enjoy.

Since making this decision I have re-established a life for myself. I have self-respect and pride. Most importantly, I look forward to everyday without the burdens of addiction and with clear eyes and a clear head. I have an amazing life because I have freed myself from my drug use. And this is only the beginning.
