Patrick Johnsen prays with friends at a coffee shop in Williston, N.D. on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2014. Johnsen, 29, came to the Bakken in 2010 to escape drugs. He'd been heavy into meth and crack back home in the Chicago suburbs and decided to start over, moving to North Dakota. He arrived with a mountain of debts and $11.72 in his pocket. He turned things around, working on an oil rig, and has been sober since September 2012. He attends a twice-weekly support group of recovering substance abusers and stays out of bars.
