Richard G.

I was raised in West Virginia. Growing up we grew our own vegetables and raised our own livestock. I started to drink because a bunch of coal miners made it look fun and exciting. I would steal beer from the age of 7 till the age of 14. Towards the later part of my life I started to drink to mask the feeling of not being good enough. Most recently I was kicked out of my place of living for not being able to provide for myself. I am here in Teen Challenge to get healthy and stable while growing in relationship with Christ.
