Well, it's a bio I've done this for some other web sites, social networks and such. My name is Ismael S. Rodriguez Jr. I'm an ordained reverend, U.S. Navy veteran, dual diagnosed, and a Grey Witch. I was born in Philadelphia, PA and now live in Oakland Park, FL. I spent eight years in the Navy and traveled around Europe. After leaving the Navy I traveled around the U.S. for a while. I'm diagnosed with schizophrenia and alcohol dependency. I have over three years clean and sober from all substances and am stable on medication and therapy. My dual diagnoses has been a struggle for me for many years, and I've been in some bad situations.
