Hi just need to fix something, I have fought for 45 years in addiction and only in the last 2.5 years have I been clean and 23 years without a drink. Im 52 years old and started in AA at age 18 years old already addicted to coke and alcohol plus what ever else I could get and over those long years I tried many long term treatments and detoxes but it took Recovery College and their support system for me to finally get it. Now I am learning from John and others to be a good man. I only want to help others now that I am well enough to support others. John's vision for long-term communities to come together is inspiring and I am in his debt for his kind words. Thank you and sorry for the misunderstanding.

I am a recovering addict of 45 years and I try to help others see that they have what it takes to be well and keep well by connections and that of a good support system. It was a Peer that helped be connect my hopes and goals to purpose and that gave me the meaning that motivates me today to show that I am proof of recovery. From addiction to today is my resilience story. I understand how Peer support connections can help that one person from a life of loneliness to one of meaning and purpose. The world is much better place with you in it. So thank you for being awesome.
