  • I'm BO and I'm an addict.

    I'm BO and I'm an addict.
    Jan 21 2026

    Meet Bo. He's a recovering drug addict who has seen it all: things you can imagine and things you wouldn't have thought of.

    He started young...with alcohol. After that addiction kicked in, he found his way to cocaine, meth, jail repeated attempts in rehab, and prison. Finally, his rehab stuck and he has been clean for one year. What are the tools he believes will keep him straight?

    This interview kicks off a three-part series to be followed by a conversation with a woman who lived in a world of drug addiction before she became clean. Finally, we will talk with a representative of the Washington County, Virginia Recovery Court, formerly known as Drug Court where people facing pending felony drug charges can avoid jail buy successfully completing the Recovery Program.

    What can we learn from this story of those among us who are living in an unreal world of drug addiction?
