from my mom that said, “Just let me know you’re OK.” Being an addict — just as a human being — you have all this shame, this pain, this guilt. How could this woman still want to help me after all I’d put her through? I was asking myself all these questions, and I just said to myself, “You know what, I’m going to do it this time. I’m going to surrender and take direction and give life another chance.”


How would you describe your experiences at rehab?


The strange thing was that I wasn’t


angry, and for the first time, I wasn’t really scared. The woman who checked me in told me I looked too happy to be at rehab. At first I thought, “This is going to be a piece of cake.” But then the drugs wore off and, you know, a week or two went by, and I started feeling miserable again. After about a month at Caron


[Treatment Center], I knew I couldn’t go back to Vermont. I needed to go somewhere where I was going to be surrounded by people who were struggling like me — but who were also trying to become young men who could live a sober life. And not just a sober life, but sober and happy. I knew there was a deeper, underlying issue, that drugs were not just my problem, but that there was something in my mind that led me to drugs. And that was something that was going to take more than 30 days for me.


What’s your advice on talking to friends who are struggling with addiction?


I never wanted to hear somebody tell me what I needed. The friends who got through to me were the ones who sat there and began to understand me. They asked me questions about what was going on, so they could understand my story to the best of their knowledge, and then they used that to relate. My approach is almost exactly that: It’s having a conversation with no judgment. As much as you can, try to relate to that person, and then plant a seed. Until somebody is ready to ask for help or accept help, they’re going to go to any lengths they can to do what they want to.
