I want to grow up before I die.

Gil started drinking at age 13 and things advanced very quickly for him, drugs and all, before the age of 16. He had made up his mind to get drunk as much as possible. He grew up in the city and was considered a street kid, so drinking made him feel accepted, He got in trouble at school and ended up in a therapeutic community, which was a very rough environment. Gil got sober by age 26, but that followed with a relapse later in life. Hear how he overcame that and is now living his life in recovery today.
