Sean's Story

My name is Sean and I'm an addict. I've been clean for almost two and a half years. I've gone from being homeless to being a father, home owner and Retail manager. I smoked pot and drank as a teenager but I never felt like I was addicted to drugs or alcohol. I started abusing anything I could get my hands on, I was doing stuff to myself I wouldn't let anyone do to me. One day I looked in the mirror and I saw a junkie staring straight back at me.

I reached out to my mom for help and she called Freedom From Addiction because I was helpless. They found me a program to help me detox and get the quality treatment that I needed. I was surrounded by therapists that helped me create a foundation for managing my addiction.

It still isn't easy. I take life one day at a time, but I know how to get through the pressures without relapsing. I've got a beautiful wife, a 2-year-old son and a baby girl on the way now. I've got a life to live for and people that depend on me, and I owe it all to my mom for calling Freedom From Addiction.
