In 1989 I was almost booted out of the U.S. Coast Guard for a drug and alcohol problem. I saw the light, got some great support from people in the Coast Guard and I started going to those 12 step meetings. I still go to those 12 step meetings, I don't drink or abuse any substances (except coffee!) and I now have a great life. I have seen many people do amazing things with their lives after major issues with drugs and alcohol, when they admit the problem, find a power greater than themselves and get a good support group.
Go Shane Go! There is more than one way to be a winner
If you or somebody you know is having a problem with substance abuse, GET HELP!
