After an average childhood. I decided a life of drugs and crime was the best future for me. After spending about 6 yrs of heavy drug and alcohol use along with nefarious criminal activities I had a failed relationship that pushed my drug use to a threshold at which time I thought running from my problem was best so I joined the Navy but I didn't take care of my problem so it ran ramped and cause havoc in my life and I became an alcoholic. I was discharged OTH. With in 4 month of my discharge I was on my way to a 12yr prison sentence. It was a horrible time in my life but the silver lining was my new respect for life and family. I went to rehab right out of prison where I learned new skills. I got a job at a buffet restaurant and I was give the opportunity to try my hand at a new trade. I became a glazier and I found a job I truly enjoy. Over the next few yrs I found out many things about myself and I polished the rough edges away. I now ahave a wonderful wife, three beautiful step children anda life I spent so many lonely, drug induced, isolated nights dreaming about.
