From Addiction
to Redemption:
My Journey
The funny thing is... I never thought I’d be here — helping men like you find freedom from the very thing that once held me captive.
My mother is a minister, and my father has always been a businessman, so I grew up with double standards of success. As successful as my dad was, he was also a drug addict and alcoholic. But to me, he was my hero.
While my dad was the hard disciplinarian, my mom was the strict one. I swear she had me and my sister in church almost every day of the week. And as far as being married to an addict, she did what so many moms do — she prayed and did her best to keep us protected.
The First Exposure
My story with addiction goes back to when I was just 7 or 8 years old, after my parents’ divorce. I was with my dad when I came across a VHS tape labeled “Commando.” I thought I was about to watch good ole Arnie.
Instead, I saw a woman dressed like G.I. Joe walking around a table with a naked woman on it. I had no idea what I was watching. Then my dad’s girlfriend walked in, gasped, and turned away. A few seconds later, my dad came in and told me to go to bed.
It felt like punishment. But I had no idea why I was being punished.
I'm sure you can relate!
The Beginning of Control
A few years later, I came home from the hospital after a sickle cell crisis around Christmas (rocking my new British Knights!) and my mom — rushing out the door for work — handed me my prescription: Tylenol with Codeine (T3s).
I can’t explain it... but I felt powerful. I had something that could control the pain.
Living Behind the Mask
For over 30 years, I wore masks.
On the outside, I had it all: a degree, a marriage, the house, the cars, the kids. I worked in social services and education for over 20 years. I led my family to church. I believed — with everything in me — that I was better than my dad.
But the truth?
I was an addict.
I lost jobs and blew money on porn. I had affairs (or at least tried to). I knew how to get prescriptions, which stores would sell me liquor, and which friends would help me stay comfortable in my addiction.
And the worst part? I didn’t even know I was lost. I was a ticking time bomb... with no idea I was ticking.
Hitting the Wall
My wife (now ex) begged me to go to therapy. I only went to shut her up.
I finally sought real help after catching my son watching porn — and realizing he must have learned it from me. I thought I was doing it to fix my house.
But nothing changed... until I got disgusted with me.
Not the consequences.
Not what I was losing.
Me.
That’s when I stopped playing God — and started submitting to Him.
Real Faith, Real Recovery
Recovery didn’t happen overnight. It wasn’t clean or pretty.
But it was real.
God stripped away everything false and showed me the king He created me to be.
And not just a king for my house — but for my life.
