Hello, I’m Joe Drake, and my drug of choice was methamphetamine. It started out from what I believed was self-medication due to ADHD, but so many others in my life saw changes that I didn’t. I lost respect, love and care from my kids and wife. It was unbearable. I was then sentenced to prison and it turned out to be exactly what I needed: a hard sit-down that made me think clearly. That led to me running 7 NA and AA meetings a week. The joy I received from watching others grow led me to want to help others. I started a program in Delta called Pillars, and the program is still running to this day. Above all, I absolutely love helping those who need help.
