When someone gets into trouble over a drug offense, he might have the chance to change his life through Oklahoma County's drug court program. I'm in my early 50s and have spent time in jails and prisons due to my problems with substance abuse. Being in the drug court program, I'm slowly turning my life around and away from the negative lifestyle I've been held to for many years. I'm not yet who I want to be, but I'm glad I'm not who I used to be.
