been here, I've seen a lot of crazy, funny and serious situations at this place. I was once a consumer here at Boley for seven long years. the people i met were pretty okay i still keep in contact with not even a handful of people I've seen people come and go from Boley the years I was there I've seen people at their day program who were sleeping and some of them had slurred speech and some were just wild and out and just basically out to lunch and some who were cool as a fan and became really good friends of mine, some were rivals in the art world and were fierce competitors, but i came out on top (not trying to brag) . a lot of people here along the way. I've seen people come and go out of here so many times. there is and old saying, " The higher up the mountain you go, you find out who your friends really are..." that is true in every scenario.in any place you are in the world...."you are the TRUE master of your destiny"
i drew pictures for them and these people loved my artwork. some of my comrades died and some of us left Boley to go to other cities across Florida and some of them left the state altogether. I still keep in contact with only a small percentage of those that still know me and keep the ones who still inquire about me from finding out where i am, lest that info falls into the wrong hands! BUT i want to give a shout out to the ones who looked after me during my darkest hours: Kelvin Stuart, Gerard Joseph, Beverly Kirkland and Noel Butler. thanks a lot!!! .And To possible future Boley consumers: RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE IF YOU DO THE LEG WORK...
