Success Stories of Sobriety and Overcoming Addiction

My name is Owen, and for most of my adult life, I believed I was trapped by a drug addiction I could never break. I was far from the person I once dreamed of being; I lost my job, alienated my family, and missed the trust of the few friends I had. Addiction took everything—my time, my career, and my future.

My name is Liam, and I'm 39 years old. I'm married and have two daughters. This sounds like the beginning of a speech during an AA meeting. Frankly speaking, I never imagined my life would turn out the way it did and that I would live in a sober house. Growing up in a small town in Texas, I dreamed of serving my country.

Growing up, I had what felt like the ideal life, and there was no place for drugs or alcohol. I had a loving family and was surrounded by friends who were ready to stand with me during any troubles. In my final year of university, I planned to become a designer and create stylish interiors. But one night changed everything.
