Steven Potter:
So, did coming here to Klein Hall help you get sober and start building a life?

Michael Cable:
Exactly, and realizing I did have depression, I did have things I needed to work on. You know, I thought I was — there's nothing wrong with me — and I ended up getting on different medications for anxiety and depression. You got to try a few. I don't think you're going to get that lucky, where they're going to go, "Here's the pill," and it's going to work. So, I went through some hard times where the pills we're having very bad side effects, and I was here. I had a place to live and food, and I was able to try three different ones and move, and it took, like, six months, and I was in a really rough shape here. I couldn't barely come out of my room. I was having just the hardest time, but it was like, thank God I was here, found the one that worked, got on the right track. And I think all the time, if it weren't for this place, there's no way I could have done that in the real world. You know, my life would've — if I had things going — they would've fell apart if I needed to go through that. And yeah, I see people all the time now that I could tell they have depression problems and all that stuff, but life was just like a freight train, you can't stop. You know, some people got family and stuff they can stay with. I remember a lot of people being surprised when I was telling 'em I'm coming here, and they're like, "Well, don't you have somebody?" I'm like, "I don't have anybody. This is the only option I got."
