ROAD TO RECOVERY
My good friend Evan has had a very trying and long road to recovery that has included several stops in rehab, a job as a debt collector in Kansas, and a stint in at an outpatient facility in Tampa Bay where he worked as a paralegal for an attorney that worked on Tampa Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. He was very much a troublemaker when we were in high school and did a lot of things that to harm himself and others. He was sent away during our second semester of our senior year of high school. Many of us did not see or talk to him for almost a full year after that. Then he came home and got into trouble all over again, this time with worse problems than the last. His parents decided to send him to a more intensive rehab facility in Louisiana. He lived there for almost two years, but never really did get any better. In fact his problems may have gotten even worse. Finally his dad went down there and helped him move to Kansas where he would live with his uncle and work for his uncle’s collection agency. When he got fired from that he moved to Tampa to work for a friend’s father’s law firm. He lives there now and is doing much better.
