I got expelled from two universities because of drugs & alcohol. The rate at which I was drinking & using drugs, would have led to me being in hospital, prison or the mortuary..

Four years ago I decided I needed help, through my parents and family’s support, I got clean and sober. I went back to school & last week I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Public Health.

This post was specifically made for anyone battling with an addiction or going through tough times. Please show them that it is possible to turn your life around.

It is possible to build yourself back up. Don’t be ashamed to start all over. Do not focus on your mistakes, don’t look at your age or time wasted. You have energy and health. That is all you need.

Don’t count your demons, count your angels. You are not the problem your addiction is what is causing problems in your life.

To families & friends of those battling with addiction, I know It’s painful and embarrassing but please seek help for them.

Don’t give up. It is people like you that saved a junkie like me. As of now I am back to doing that which i love to do, which is helping addicts transition into sobreity.
