For me, in my opinion, you can’t get into a recovery program anywhere else with this many people all in one place and have them take sobriety seriously. There are a lot of people that are in and out and stuff like that and can kind of mess you up, but like if you get with the right people in my opinion you can stay sober. I’m from just outside of Philly, and there is no way I could have stayed sober out there. There are meetings there, but there’s so many people using out there and it’s too easy for me. Down here I don’t really know how to get any drugs, and I’m trying to keep it that way. I would tell people from up home to come here and get sober.

Delray has really been quite conducive to my sobriety. I just feel that there are so many friendly people here going through the exact same situation as me. Having friends you can relate to has helped me tremndously and the fact that it has such a youthful network here keeps the positive vibes going.

I’m from Jersey, and over there the drugs were all around me and I didn’t have the strength to say no because everything is so easy for me there. Living in Delray helps me stay sober because nothing is familiar here, and if I fuck up, I’ll be on the street, or worse I’ll have to go back home.
