Everything fits inside of my recovery because when I'm doing what's right in the recovery process, all of those things just flow. I'm a better employee, I'm a better father, I'm a better husband when my focus is on my relationship with God.

Learn about addiction and alcoholism. Learn about the history of it, and the approaches that our society have made over the centuries. See what failed, why it failed, and learn why the many pathways to recovery can work for you.

Recovery has to be real. You can feel it, you can see it, you can experience it. Recovery is my life today and, hopefully, for the rest of my life.
