"I'm Proof That YOU Can Turn Your Life Around" True Stories of Addiction

He started drinking young, spiraled into meth and heroin, racked up 19 felonies, and cycled through jails and prisons—then rebuilt everything through a 12-step recovery story: Big Book, sponsor, steps, amends, service, and 5–6 meetings a week. This is an addiction recovery success story from Chandler, Arizona that shows how consequences plus connection, structure, and school (CGCC → ASU School of Social Work) can change a life.

What you’ll learn:
ER/medical encounters after DUIs → detox in Durango Jail → Charter Hospital (18-day inpatient).
Why meetings, sponsor, steps, and amends work in real life.
What consistent community service and 5–6 meetings/week do for long-term sobriety.
How he navigated Durango & 4th Avenue Jails, Perryville & Florence state prisons, and a DUI camp in Douglas, AZ.
Going back to school in recovery: Chandler-Gilbert Community College → Arizona State University (Social Work).
