Drug and alcohol addiction is tragic. I found one person who is trying to make a difference and he is doing so from a federal prison. Hartman told me that the most difficult part for people struggling with addiction is reaching that pivotal moment commonly referred to as "rock bottom." Hartman told me that, prior to prison, he never believed he had substance abuse problem, much less did anything about it. "Most people struggling with addiction evolve into selfish, egotistical and dishonest behaviors to protect their continued alcohol or drug abuse," Hartman said, "that then spreads out into every aspect of their lives."
