Kelly's Story

I started using recreational drugs when I was in college. At first it was just smoking pot and drinking socially, then I started doing cocaine at parties with my friends. I couldn't get enough of it though, I'd wake up and do a line before I even gotten out of bed.

I was able to graduate college and I got a job as an editor, although my life was completely unmanageable. I had maxed out all my credit cards and alienated all of my friends. My paranoia started to get out of control. I was convinced e veryone was out to get me. I began isolating myself, I stopped eating, I hated what my addiction was doing to me but I just couldn't stop. 

I was doing things I would never do and then one day, I heard about Freedom From Addiction. I decided to make the call and spoke with an Administration counselor. I was able to get sober and stay sober, I'm now 3 years clean and back at school working on my Master's to be in a licensed social worker.

I want to share my story and help others, show them that it is possible to break the cycle of addiction. There are people out there who care and will lend a helping hand, all it takes is making one simple phone call.
