ATLANTA — It’s been nearly three years since the infamous Interstate 85 bridge collapse shook Atlanta.
An addicted homeless man was accused of starting that fire.
Today, 42-year-old Basil Eleby is clean and sober.
He chose that two-year program instead of going to trial.
He graduated from a behavioral and drug abuse program.
“I’m not the same person that I was three years ago, or even a year ago,” Eleby said.
Basil hopes that his success in battling addiction will inspire others.
He told us it’s not where you start but where you end up.
