Thought I could control it again. I was wrong

My teenage years were the darkest chapter of my life. I got clean at 21—quit drinking, quit drugs, went back to school, became a firefighter paramedic, and worked the 12 steps with other men who are still sober today.

Then at 27–28, I convinced myself I could drink again. That decision pulled me deeper than ever before—into substances I never imagined touching and ultimately cost me my entire career.

This is the reality of relapse. It doesn’t rewind the story—it writes a darker chapter. But even that chapter had a purpose.

🙏 Let’s build hope, spread love, and live with purpose.
