About Mike
My name is Mike and I am a fully recovered drug addict/alcoholic. To put it bluntly, I was a ‘dope-fiend’ and a ‘drunk’ for over 25 years. Today I am a completely different man. I no longer crave alcohol or drugs of any kind. The thrill is gone and so is the addiction. 
I have not had the urge to drink or use since August 15th 1996.
There is nothing special about me. I didn’t do anything that any other person can’t do. I promise you that if you will continue through our site with an open mind that you will see that recovery is not merely the absence of the symptoms of addiction but a complete spiritual change that is available to everyone. The following is the path I took out of desperation.
I hated my life even though my friends thought I had it all together. I had my toys, all the ladies I wanted and I even got my landlord hooked on my dope so I could pay my rent with drugs. The party never stopped; I knew how to stay two steps ahead of the law and I was able to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it. I was on easy street but I was missing something so vital that I couldn’t enjoy all the “things” I had acquired.
One night I called out to God and I knew what it was that He required of me. I had been seeking permanent relief from my addictions for the thirteen years since getting out of prison. I found God there and for some reason I left Him at the gates when I left. He wanted to show me how much He truly loves me. He wanted to deliver me out of a life of hopelessness and despair. But it had to be my choice, my desire and it had to be genuine. You can’t just say that you are ‘sick and tired of being sick and tired’, go to meetings every day and night and get the cure.
About Susan
Most people have heard the phrase looking through rose-colored glasses, and if we think about it now, through what lenses are we viewing our life at this time? I grew up with a pretty dismal or dirty-colored lens in my glasses and along with many poor choices that I made, I found myself very angry, lonely, with very low self-esteem and a negative outlook. At times I felt very hopeless, alone and that I didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Once, I saw the diagnosis written on a piece of paper by a psychiatrist, one of many therapists that I had seen, severely depressed. That made me feel worse!
