When I was 17 years old back on my senior year of high school I started to drink alcohol in the spring 2014 at that time. I never do drugs not even one except I know my big sister and my cousins does drugs mostly smoke anywhere I'm around with them. I mostly been drinking soda and juices all the time I don't actually drink strong alcohol just only a little bit mixed with soda, juice, or water how I do it. Recovery Road shows there's a lot to process recover from the alcohol and drugs to balance you back to regular self and good health for yourself, family, and friends.

So far I'm loving this new series! It's very realistic and interesting. Great family show because there's not too much sex. However, drugs and alcohol are present. The topics are something people can relate to and it's taught me things. I'm obsessed with it and I hope others do too because ABC Family (Freeform) is known for cancelling great shows!

I've been the guy in the police car. "Recovery Road" is heartfelt, and those that have been down this path know all to well how it feels to go into treatment for the first time. The mix of characters, and the revelation that her high school guidance counselor is also an addict were particularly relate-able.
