my name is Garvin. I am pretty down to earth on my right mind. I enjoy watching sports and listening to the music. I love good lyrics when it comes to music. I have drugs and alcohol problem. I have been battling those two for a few years.
Before my addiction I was great at school. I used to get good grades even in college. I used to enjoy life. If I can take back that day I started using drugs and make it never happen, I would have done it quickly. I used to have some good friends before hanging out with the wrong crowd. My family used to warn me, but I didn't listen.. fast life happened fast!
My life now is all about the next fix. I would do anything to get it. I have been to rehad, groups, you name it. Deep inside I really wanna quit this situation I am in. But find myself getting back doing the same thing. It is like a magnet pulling me back. I have been in and out of prison. It's like I sit down and watch my life passing by.
I start to realize that what causes me to still struggling with this addiction is the people around me. The good people I know, great colleagues, stay away from me because of my addiction. Most people I know are dealing with the same issues I am dealing with. It's like a black hole sucking me in.
My goal is to be clean and sober. I lost everything. I had a great job after college and a great life. I won't give up. I am going to still fighting this. I hope my family could understand.

Hi Garvin,

I read your story and I was very touched. My advice to you is to keep hoping and keep fighting. you need to get rid of your circle. It seems like the are part of the problem. The good thing is , a lot of people have beaten this thing. I believe you can too.

Hi Garvin, 

The best thing you did was admitting that your addiction was a problem. A lot of people struggling with addiction don't think so. My advice to you is to get some help.
