In my younger years, I was addicted to all sorts of heavy drugs. I was radical, selfish, and inconsiderate, hurting myself and the people around me. For my 23rd birthday, I checked myself into treatment. I’ve been born again and again and again—falling short, getting back up, and learning that real change only came when I leaned fully on the Lord. The 12 steps became a lifeline for me, not just for addiction, but for every area of my life. Now I walk with others through those same principles of honesty, surrender, and daily grace—whether their struggle is drugs, resentment, control, or quiet pain no one else can see.
