"I'm a recovering addict. I grew up in Pennsylvania 15 miles from here. I have two years of college and 12 years in the military and through all this drugs had always been a part of my adult life.
For the past 14 years, I was in and out of ‘rehabs’ all over the country. Ten months ago, I left my job at quitting time and I never picked up my check because I refused to give it to the drug dealer. I’ve been at the Mission ever since. After I finished Vince's Place, I was offered a chance to move into the Robinson Program. I’m facing my problems and I realize they are not as bad as I make them out to be. Drugs are no longer my best friend. Instead I’ve formed friendships with some guys in my program." —former resident
