From Addict to Attorney with Cameron Cano

Cameron Cano's addictions started young. He remembers drinking a case of Smirnoff Ice when he was about 10 years old. At first it was alcohol, but it eventually led to crystal meth and jail all before law school. Cameron's biggest struggle was trying to maintain his sobriety after the drug-related death of his older brother. Angry and not sure where to go or what to do, Cameron decided to go on a soul-cleansing journey on foot, starting in Oregon during the winter and ending back in Texas. It took the harsh conditions of that journey to convince Cameron that he wanted something more for his future. Pushing back against his negative self-talk and self-doubt, Cameron applied to college, then law school. Today, Cameron is a plaintiff's attorney who strictly separates his work and personal lives. His best advice is to maintain your sobriety at all costs and to be conscientious of when you start to feel that your sobriety is at risk. If you find yourself in situations that feel dangerous to your sobriety, you must remove yourself right away.
