Thanks man it means a lot. I don't usually share that part of my life, but even if one person struggling with an addiction or just life in general happens to read my posts, they can see that it does get better and that there are people who are more than willing to help. I've lost 3 very close people already this year because of overdose. It's really sad man and I'm very lucky and blessed to be here today.

Mainly Roxie's(oxycodon) then the last year or so that I was using I got hooked on meth, and that took me downhill pretty quick to my rock bottom and I begged my pops to take me to a treatment center cause I just couldn't do it anymore. I checked in weighing 118. My normal weight is 155-160. I had got 4 felony burglary charges when I was 16, but I completed 2 years of pre-trial intervention, which is pretty much probation and paying restitution, so they were expunged.

Was the worst years of my life and did countless things I regret and wish I could change. But being sober now, I can help other people going through the same things and show them that they don't have to live like that anymore.

I completely forgot about it until it was mentioned. If you saw, it hasn't been used in over 5 years when I was 17-18 lol So yea looking at that now, it's pretty embarrassing as I was just starting to get pretty hard into my addiction around that time. If you'd like to see my actual twitter it's areis94 lol

Yea that's not my twitter... lol but yea I spent 10 months there including their sober living. I made 2 years sober April 18

She said she was just bored with the coming home and doing the housewife/mom thing and needed something to I guess give her a rush or something. Which I mean that's the same basic concept of any addiction.

Yea I mean in our daily "groups" it was all about drug and alcohol recovery, since that's what everyone else was there for. So she just kinda had to just replace that with sex and I'm sure she did her own treatment with her assigned counselor.

I mean she did also drink, which I'm sure didn't help with anything. But I mean she was by no means an alcoholic. But I mean you can pretty much use the same program for drugs/alcohol for sex or any other addiction.

If you go back and read the article of when she plead guilty and put on 3 years probation, one of the stipulations was that she had to go to a "mental health facility" and technically addiction is a mental illness. Also the facility (Addiction Recovery Resources) is one of the nicer facilities in the state. They have 2 sets of 4 townhouses and you have either 2 or 3 roommates and it was really nice. Instead of keeping you locked up in a building like most facilities, I mean they took up to walmart once a week, so we got our own food and we left the facility to go to Lafreniere park and AA meetings every night. The dr. there is the top addiction specialist in the country. That place saved my life man. Thank you for that, it's been tough, but has been the best 2 years of my life.

That's deff a possibility. I think she was trying to get into the dental hygienist program or something like that.

Idk which one you're looking to work at, but the one I worked at was the busiest Cane's in the New Orleans area. Even being so busy, it was never really too difficult or stressful besides the sundays when the Saints played and I had to open and it was just me and 2 other kitchen guys having to have between 500-1000 fingers for tailgates ready by the time we opened at 9. Also depends on which job you do. You're first 5 days if you're in the kitchen, you'll train for each different job and after that, you'll just kinda go where they need you that day.
