I never thought that I would survive 20 years of crack and meth use, but here I am, 36, teaching a free class to teens on how to remove and reinstall engines, in my own mechanics shop, sober 3 years now. For the first time, I am giving back and no longer take, take, taking. It's a blast!

Well done in so many ways, most of all for beating that devil.

I just started working as a prosecutor. I'm really glad to see someone reach the other side and turn it around!

Is there anything you might recommend a prosecutor to do in those situations which would make that transition easier for a user?

Edit: I just wanted to know how this person was prosecuted and how it impacted their transition to law-abiding behavior. I'm not gonna set my prosecution practice based on one person from the internet.

Also, thanks for the gold!
