 There's like an imaginary line, they say, and once you cross the imaginary line, there's no going back. I started experimenting with alcohol, sixth grade. I started smoking cigarettes, but my freshman year of high school, I was a really good soccer player, and I blew out my knee. I got ACL reconstruction done that summer. My doctor gave me Percocets. When I took it, it fixed everything, and it made me feel like, oh, this is like a secret pill. That was how it started. I ended up going to the next level from a friend introducing OxyContin pills to me. These were taken off the market, and there was nowhere else to go, but to a cheaper alternative, which was heroin. So it led to being massively addicted. My daughter was born, and I told my wife, I'm gonna stop, I'm gonna stop. And she was six months. I told my wife, I'm gonna stop, I promise. But I just couldn't stop. The state knocked on my door and said, hey, we have a complaint. They needed a drug test, and the jig was up. I love my daughter, I love my family, but I had to come to the horrible truth that I love alcohol and I love drugs more than them. I've been to many other facilities. The one that I found most effective, the one that helped me the most, the one that helped me get my daughter back was Carrier Clinic. There are many reasons why I love Carrier Clinic. The first one, it's definitely the staff. They just understand exactly what an addict and alcoholic go through. I love the location. It's peaceful, it's quiet. Farmland and a lot of trees, and that's literally one of the best parts about being here too. I feel like I had the most support I've ever had at Carrier Clinic, hands down from any other place I've been. I've been sober for a little under three years. Early on, I got my daughter back. She's my world. I have a real estate business. I own a laundromat. I'm starting my own facilities now. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Carrier Clinic.
