At a young age I was introduced to substances. The lifestyle I was getting involved in seemed to be "normal" in the environment I was growing up in. Little did I know it was deeper than that, I was looking for a solution to myself in those substances. Meanwhile my dreams, relationships and health took a back seat, Those things weren't a priority anymore. I lost all focus of the things that were once important to me. My family started to distance themselves, I had no more friends I could call and I found myself alone, hopeless and depressed. This hopeless feeling soon propelled me into seeking treatment, I tried every imaginable way. After 50+ treatment programs, it finally clicked, I found a way to do some necessary work on myself which gave me a whole new outlook on life, an outlook that showed me that substances weren't my problem, I was. After having this experience I grew a passion for helping others out of the same situation i was once in, This is where "A Vision For Hope" came from.
