If you’ve ever had a friend or family member who has struggled with drug addiction, you know that it is a truly terrible experience that affects not only the addict but all the people close to them.
The good news is some people can overcome their addictions and turn their lives around.
Which is exactly what these people did. I think these powerful photos will surprise you.

This is me in Dec 1995. This is me in Dec 2017. I overcame addiction, homelessness, and a history of incarceration. Been sober 20 years next month.

As of today, I am 4 years clean from drugs. I have a career, a house, a dog, and a fiancé. It was a struggle but it is definitely worth it. Stay Strong!

Those photos are very painful but they are a powerful reminder of how easy it is for everyday people to get hooked on drugs.
Kudos to all of these folks for kicking their habits, because it is a very difficult thing to do!
