I'm not a bad person. I made some bad decisions, but I'm not a bad person.

Joe recently celebrated a year of sobriety. He picked up in his teen years with school parties- drinking and weed- weekend warrior type of scenario. But that quickly progressed, as it does with addiction. For the most part, it became a daily thing. Once he got out of high school, he got an apartment with a girl in the Bronx. He thought he was in love, but he was still young and unsure of his future. He started to meet people at work and that's when the pills took off. He was taking roxy's and oxy. He still thought it was fun, but had no idea the hold it was going to have on him for fifteen years. Joe went to numerous rehabs to try to get clean and landed himself in some legal trouble as well, landing himself in jail. Eventually, he realized that things had to change and made the decision to get clean. Check out Joe's story here...
