TRIUMPH OVER ADDICTION

What follows is my story—an extraordinary tale of a man who redefined the boundaries of hope and resilience. At 44, faced with a life in shambles—jobless, penniless, divorced, and on the brink of suicide—I made a decision that transformed my destiny. Confronting severe alcohol addiction, I embarked on a journey of recovery, fueled by unwavering determination and a profound desire to reclaim my life—not only for my family but primarily for myself.

This narrative is a powerful testament to transformation from the depths of despair to a life filled with fulfillment and joy. Whether you are struggling with substance abuse or know someone who is, these pages offer a beacon of hope.

Experience my remarkable comeback: join me in my descent into hell, walk beside me as I awaken to a life without alcohol, and share in the emotion as I rekindle love with my ex-wife. Cry with me on the bank of the Animas River, where, watching children wave from a passing train, I realized that the first chapter of my life had ended, and a new chapter had just begun.

Complete the journey with the most wonderful of conclusions—admiring a drawing my now thirty-year-old son made of himself, my wife, and me twenty years earlier. It dawned on me: our past may shape us, but it doesn't have to define our future.

In case you're new here, I want to clarify: I am not selling anything, nor am I profiting in any way from this site. My sole purpose is to offer a ray of hope to those who find themselves in situations similar to what I once faced.
