By CAROLINE CURRAN • BRUNSWICK BEACON STAFF WRITER Danny Grissett thought he was going to die. Imprisoned by his addiction, he saw no freedom from it, no way out. To him, life was no longer worth living. What drugs and alcohol done for me, it just took me down a spiral—down, down, down—and I hit the bottom, and so it got to the point I was just totally unhappy, Grissett said. I got to that point where I thought life wasnt even worth living. I just got to that point where I didnt see any way out. I thought I was going to die. But that was before Drug Treatment Court. Grissett, a graduate of Drug Treatment Court, has been clean and sober for more than 18 months. He is now a year and a half removed form the throes of addiction, living a clean and sober life, hoping to help others defeat their own demons that, for so many, live in the bottom of a pill bottle or in a heroin needle. But I got into this program, thanks to Judge Lewis, and the treatment thats provided and the support of all the drug court team, it has changed my life dramatically. Its just been a whirlwind. The most profound thing that I found out, I really hated myself, and so I learned how to love myself, and from there, I learned to love others. Thanks to this program my life has changed. Its a way out.
