Yesterday I saw another miracle of recovery at the ten-year birthday dinner for a man who struggled for years with his addiction.
He came to us at age 19. And he was in and out of TLC some 10 times before he finally got it.
His mother died of alcoholism while he was in his early teens. He rode away from her funeral on his bicycle and didn't look back.
After that he pursued drugs with a vengeance. It wasn't until he had a few near death experiences that he finally decided to change.
Today he lives in a suburban home with his wife, a grown son and a new child. He's become one of the key people at TLC. He's totally immersed in the 12 step programs and has helped many others into recovery.
He's another example of what happens when we remove the drugs and alcohol from our lives.
That's when - like this man - we can live up to our potential.
