One of her graduates was Kyle,
who also addressed the crowd at the
May 22 celebration. With his court
guardian, Danielle Hupp by his side,
the now 18-year-old told how the
recovery court set him on a path
towards sobriety and happiness.
He opted into the program as a
16-year-old back in 2012.
“The program’s given me a lot of
life skills, and just skills in general
that you need to grow as a person,”
he said before thanking the staff of
the drug courts. “I’m glad I had
people to talk to and release these
feelings to. I’m glad and I’m happy
— I was never happy before until I
got into this program. I can look
people into the eye and smile, and it
wasn’t fake, and it felt good.”
The Portland Observer spoke
with Kyle right before he took the
stage.
“Once I realized I had a problem,
that’s when I began to get in with
the flow and it started to work out,”
he said.
Kyle says h e’s been clean since
Nov. 25, the day he got out of recov­
ery court.
Kyle’s advice to others before he
took the stage, “Keep it clean and
you ’ 11 be able to live life the way you
wanna live.”
