Depending on who you ask, you might hear almost anything. I can only tell you who I know myself to be. I am simply this: a man who fell and, by the grace of God, got up. And that was where my transformation began. I once heard, “A seed sown in the fertile soil of our imagination has the possibility of a forest.”
I now realize that my pain was that I was dying to live! That newfound reality changed everything, but first, I had to allow myself to surrender. It was in this act of surrender that I found the strength to begin my journey of recovery.
Today, after 39 years of freedom from the grip of drugs and alcohol, I am a living testament to the transformative power within each of us. Others, too, have the potential to turn their lives around. We all have the power to create a new, fulfilling life that reflects our true potential.
