Today, we have an amazing warstory from Tim. Tim was more into skateboarding than drugs when he was growing up. His senior year he enlisted in the Marines and decided it was time to experiment. From that moment forward his mind-altering journey began. Tim couldn’t seem to understand why he couldn’t just stop. He would have to lose a lot more before he finally took the steps to build the hope that made up the foundation of his recovery. Hear him talk today about what life in sobriety is like.

Thanks Hellions! Remember you are the most important part of the show.
