JOSHUA

When I was 13 I started drinking and partying with my friends.  Not long after that, I started using marijuana as well.  Pretty soon this spiraled out of control, and I found myself stealing to support my habit.  I dropped out of school, stopped playing football, and severely damaged my relationship with the people I cared about.  Eventually I was caught, and the court sent me to PAYH.  Here I learned how to live soberly and to move on from my past.  My relationships have begun to heal, and I am looking forward to living cleanly in the future.
