Föredetta alkohol missbrukaren Chaske Spencer (Sam) delar gärna med sig av sitt mörka förflutna och har varit och pratat inför Central Michigan University’s Native American Heritage Month där han uppmuntrar studenterna och andra att hålla sig borta från alkohol och droger.

Det här är bland annat vad han sa:

“I am Chaske Spencer, I am a recovering addict-alcoholic,” Spencer said in his introduction. “I have been sober for two years, nine months and three days.”

“Let me tell you something about heroin,” Spencer told about 900 people Wednesday in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium. “It is the drug that kills. It will suck your soul, your life, it is no joke. I put myself in situations that I should have never been in.”

“I still didn’t think I really had a problem until one day I noticed that I couldn’t live without anything in my system,” Spencer said. “I did not know how to function like normal people do without anything in my system,” he said.
