Hello, my name is Harvey Pollard. This is the story of what my life was like prior to Mariners Inn, what I’ve done since I’ve been a client at Mariners, and what Mariners has helped me with during my stay. Become I came into Mariners Inn my life was completely unmanageable. My family couldn’t control me and my friends weren’t really friends unless our friendship involved doing something doing something negative and unnecessary. I started smoking marijuana, taking prescription medications, and drinking alcohol as a minor. I loved the feeling of being high all the time; it helped me to escape my pain from anger, depression, grief, loss, loneliness, and being bounced around the court system as a youth during my time as a ward of the state.
