About

Welcome. I’m Jimmy, and my journey with alcoholism began in the 1980s. Despite numerous attempts, I cycled through recovery without ever fully embracing the program’s principles. Everything changed when a seasoned mentor introduced me to the ideas of powerlessness and unmanageability—an explanation that illuminated my path and sparked genuine transformation.

My Experience

Since that pivotal conversation, I have maintained over seven years of continuous sobriety. During this time, I have:

• Participated in and later facilitated peer-led recovery meetings
• Built a supportive network of individuals dedicated to sustained recovery
• Mentored newcomers, discovering that guiding others reinforces my own commitment
