What it was like?

I was a hopeless heroin addict, and couldn't see a light at the end of the tunnel. I had pretty much made up my mind that I was going to die a junkie.

What happened?

One night, I wanted to kill myself, but I had just enough fight left in me to ask for help. I got clean, and haven't looked back!

What it is like now?

I am getting ready to travel the world, talking to people about recovery. This will all be filmed and broadcast on my channel! I am so excited to begin this new journey!! @venturinghigher
