Chris Hill's Battle with Meth: A Journey of Resilience and Hope
My takeaway, I guess, is sort of along the lines of what I just said, and that is that when a person makes that internal change, or you know that, that switch flips to change, they'll find the thing that's working for them. But the when the switch flipped, like you said, is when he wanted to do it for himself.
