Matthew Gogerty working emails at Harbor of Hope Monday, Oct. 09, 2017.  Executive director of the recovery house, Tom Pontow, is in the background. Matthew Gogerty dropped out of high school at 16. He fell into addiction to alcohol and meth. He sold drugs. He got into trouble with the law. At one point, he was so low, he blew of his probation rules, figuring he would be better off in jail – and possibly treatment – than trying to keep on living the way he was. Now he works at the halfway house where he stayed after getting out of jail, Harbor of Hope.
