Christopher ferry
Founder & CEO of Boca Recovery Center
(a Nationwide Drug & Alcohol Rehab)
I want you to know one thing about me—I was once in your shoes, addicted to drugs and alcohol, feeling lost and alone.
I started playing ice hockey at a young age, and by 18, I earned an invitation to try out for the U.S. National Team Development Program (Team USA). It felt like a dream come true.
Unfortunately, drugs derailed this opportunity. I first encountered drugs and alcohol at parties, but I stayed away because of my commitment to ice hockey. However, after defending a teammate during my senior year, I was forced to transfer to Atlantic City High School. Feeling abandoned, I tried Percocet and cocaine, and that’s when my drug use escalated.
My turning point came after several arrests, including a DUI and violating my pretrial intervention with a possession charge. My parents disowned me, and I finally realized I needed help.
At 19, my parents forced me to go to rehab in Florida. I relapsed five times before my sixth rehab stay, where I decided to stay for 90 days. Between 60-90 days, something clicked, and I realized the extent of the damage I had caused. I knew I was done with drugs and needed time and space to think clearly. I learned that recovery could take up to two years for the brain to start functioning correctly again.
I got sober on February 21st, 2013 (11+ years of sobriety), I am now the CEO and Founder of Boca Recovery Center, a nationwide drug and alcohol treatment facility, and Founder of Clean And Sober, an online addiction recovery support community. Additionally, I’m a Certified National Master Interventionist (CNMI) from the National Association of Drug & Alcohol Interventionists (NADAI).
