Kevin Alter fell into drugs when he was only 17. His journey downhill began during his high school years on Long Island when he and his friends got some cocaine. He couldn’t stop the first time he tried it and spent the majority of the next 12 years homeless and in and out of addiction. Now 31, Alter has been sober for 3 years and is running The Addict's Diary, a blog where others are sharing their own substance abuse and recovery stories.
