Skippy experimented with psychedelics at the age of 11 and was confronted by the death of his friend due to suicide shortly after he began using substances. He continued this path of drug and alcohol abuse for the next 7 years. Then he finally decided to seek professional help that eventually landed him in the rooms of recovery. Today, Skippy welcomes every newcomer into his 12 step fellowship, in hopes that no one feels alone the way that he once did.
