      I am a chef in the Boston area, and am a recovering cocaine addict in search of support. Every day seems to be getting better, and I am becoming optimistic about a life beyond the grips of addiction.

    • Close Cocaine Addiction & Recovery

      I started using cocaine when i was 18 years old, and was in rehab by the time I was 21. I picked up again when I was 25, and have been an on again, off again binge user since. I had one overdose in 2006 that landed me in the hospital. I last used right around the new year this year (2009). I am a chef in the boston metro area, and work about 65-85 hours per week. I have found a lot of success in my carrer, and have a wonderful, supportive family and girlfriend).
