Six Years!

One of our managers celebrated six years of recovery yesterday. In his arms was his infant son. At his side was his fiancée. Present were many friends and fellow employees in recovery.

After he blew out the candle on his anniversary cake he spoke of how he stays sober. Among the things he mentioned was that he practices 12-step program principles in his daily life.

While his story is not unique, many remember when this man came to TLC from prison with the idea of re-building his life. He had nothing much more than the clothes on his back.

From the time he stepped onto the property he worked hard, went to meetings, and began living a different life.

He’s never backed down from the most challenging jobs that TLC has thrown his way. While working, he doesn’t just get the job done. He also carries the message to the hard six staff who often work on his crew.

He walks as an example of recovery for those of us around him.
