Against All Odds
| After the death of my parents while I attended college, I
plunged into a life of drug dependency. The addiction led me to sabotage
my marriage, a promising career in music and many friendships. Repeated
failures to quit using drugs totally destroyed my self esteem. I became
psychotic and manic. Between hospitalizations I lived in the streets.
Realizing my self destructive behavior was killing me. I made a
determined effort to achieve sobriety. After going through detox I
secured a bed at the Tom Smith Program at General Hospital. I began
volunteer work. The more I worked, the better I felt about myself.
I am totally committed to the idea of vocational rehabilitation as a way to help people feel better about themselves. David Wilkinson, Client |
