John's Story
Update at bottom
For those of you who remember I was kind of a partyer. Well after school the drinking led to drugs.
I spent most of my twenties chasing the "bag" with a bottle chaser. I managed to get an Associates Degree in automotive and applied service management. But could not control my drinking or the drugs along enough to hold a job for very long. IN and out of jail (for the drugs). My life was pretty much crap until five years ago. All of that changed.
I am now a member of A.A. Back in the day i remember saying A.A. was for quitters. I was already a quitter so why not. This program has changed my life. In ways most could only dream.
For those have harmed, I am sorry.
Well enough about the past
I recently got married (2nd) to the most wonderful woman i have ever had the pleasure to be with. We have a baby boy on the way. This makes four. Two mine, one Step, one adopted....Expand for more
But ALL are Ours!
Still good with fixing and building things. I am a Mechanic/welder/fabricator at a shop in Modesto.
I ride Motorcycles and still listen to Country Music. Still wear boots and my Cowboy hat on occasion. I guess am just a redneck at heart.
God comes first and the rest just falls into place. Helping other alcoholics and addicts recover is how i spend a lot of my time. When i am not helping others i am in the mountains, playing softball, on my bike, most of which is with my family.
May God Bless you all.
One year later: 3/5/09
Still doing well although this recession is not so good. We have been hit pretty hard. I got laid off 7 months ago. Went and got my CDL and am now looking for work as a truck driver.
Our one year anniversary Went well. The children are all good. Still clean and sober (thank you God).
Good luck to all and may God Bless this wonderful Country.
