But there is a point that if someone does not want to be there for themselves to get better, they don't get better.
Imagine starting your battle with addiction at just 13 years old. That’s the reality Norman faced. By the time he was a teenager, he was already deep into substance abuse, beginning with weed and spiraling into harder drugs. His path took a tragic turn when a shooting claimed the life of one of his friends. But Norman's story doesn't end in despair.
