Entitled Since Birth

He was the second youngest of five, born unexpectedly at home.  After the first two kids Mom didn’t have much left and Eric was the favored one raised mostly by his oldest sister. He did what he wanted and ran the streets of Queens from an early age.  He quickly graduated to what he called a “hoodlum”; drinking, using drugs and stealing.  His family’s dysfunction and his “bad” behavior bought him shame and shame bought him more drug use.  A drug treatment, a marriage of convenience and a life of lies bought him multiple relapses and a life on the street.  A number of tries at recovery including an attempted geographical cure resulted in relapse after relapse.  Finally when he was able to repair his shameful past he was able to get clean and sober.  Join us to hear Eric’s story.
