I thought I was never going to come out of it. I always spent time hungry. If you put food and you put drugs in front of me at that time, the food would still be there two days later.
Then I had lost all of my pride. I guess I wanted help to get it back, but I didn’t know how to ask for help.
So I did it by going to the community centre, got into the kitchen, and started volunteering being a cook.
And then I started talking to counselors. They started to tell me about these programs. I took all the stuff that they showed me and put it into where I’m at now. I see a person who has changed his whole life around. I love myself, and I love the person I am.
