Last Wednesday, we continued our ‘Perspectives on Prevention’ series. Our guest was a local man who is in long-term recovery. He was a top athlete who played college football and became a very accomplished power-lifter. He explained to us how a simple bad choice to use substances derailed his goals and prevented him from succeeding as an athlete and a student. He reminded students that every substance problem starts with just one bad choice to use. Such bad choices can derail our goals and alter our lives for the worst.
