Chris shares his 14-year sobriety journey, showing how a man who once sat with a syringe in one hand and a gun in the other transformed his entire life through rigorous step work, deep self-examination, and a willingness to take spiritual action even when terrified. He explains addiction as a progressive malady that began long before drugs, describes his descent through heroin, meth, homelessness, overdoses, and loss, and then details how he rebuilt everything through the mechanical, reproducible nature of the 12 Steps—learning inventory, humility, sponsorship, responsibility, and true freedom. Today he’s a dependable husband, spiritual partner, musician, worker, and son, living a big, meaningful life grounded in God and service. His story highlights that recovery is not about perfection but about daily spiritual fitness, disciplined action, and a willingness to grow beyond fear into the person he was always meant to become.
