Some may call certain hardships in life “speed bumps” but my addiction is what one would call a road closure.

If anybody had to know exactly what it feels like to go through an addiction before taking their first hit I could guarantee everybody would attempt anything possible to avoid it. Overcoming my addiction was a process unfortunately I could not face just on my own and all I can be is thankful for the assistance I received.

In the years of my youth I was always known as the daring type and not afraid to attempt anything. This almost reckless attitude is what led me down a road that put a hold on my life for a period I will never get back. My addiction to a hard narcotic known as crack all started literally with one hit which unravelled before I knew it into a full-blown urge and craving fuelled by withdrawal that I simply could not control. In my darkest hour, undoubtedly of my life, concerns of my loved ones reached a level that  caused them to take drastic measures in my life without my consent- for this I thank them every day.

I was submitted to Houghton house rehabilitation facility where I received the utmost professional care all in my best interest to rebuild a completely new path soon to be known as my life started over. The programs I was enrolled in and the treatments were all conducted in manner of professionalism in a constant atmosphere of experience. It really is one of those rare situations where you deal with people who know exactly what they are doing and this place of sanction is who I have to thank for being clean and taking a stance against substance abuse and addiction.

In a summary of personal advice, facilities like Houghton house and others are not overrated; if you want to kick addiction give your commitment towards something I guarantee by the end of it, you will never regret.
