Chad: 我今年34岁，三月份就35岁了，出狱两年，三月份就戒毒五年了。我以前吸毒很严重，到处乱跑，父母都不知道我在哪里。我被捕时身上带着大约一万美元，我试图维持生计，会在生日等特殊日子打电话给他们。所以他们最终不得不放弃管我。自从我出来后，我一直待在当地。一个月前我刚买了一栋梦想中的房子，四月份搬了进去。我终于买了一栋房子。大约一个月后，我的妈妈和姐姐就能来我家做烧烤了。我又回到了每个人的生活中，大家都信任我。我为一家知道我过去经历的公司工作，他们给了我公司钥匙，让我下班后可以去工作。我是一名卡车司机。隧道尽头有光。我无法为了任何人而戒毒。他们苦苦哀求我，与我达成协议，但这都没用。为什么不管用？因为当你是一个瘾君子时，你不知道自己不在乎自己在做什么伤害别人。直到现在我戒毒了，我才意识到，我以前竟然是这样的人，我简直不敢相信。 Dee: Chad 提到的一点，我觉得他可能自己都没意识到，那就是他在监狱里强制戒毒了一段时间。然而，一旦他可以再次接触毒品，他就又开始吸毒了。所以，即使他的身体已经摆脱了毒品，他的思想却还没有发生转变。直到现在，他才真正做出了改变。我很为他感到骄傲和高兴。这是一个美好的故事，它温暖了我的心。而且，他并没有依靠母亲的帮助来戒毒，这证明这一切都是他自己的努力。这一切都是他自己的功劳。我很为他高兴。
