Be the miracle was inspired by countless men and women who have journeyed from hopelessness to recovery. We believe in becoming the person who transforms despair into hope, inspiring others to find their strength. Our mission is to give back by guiding others on their path to recovery, so that together we can create a world where every life touched by addiction finds a way forward.

This has been the best year of my life. I owe it all to God and the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. This was a tough episode to create. My actions prior to getting sober have consequences, most of which I am not proud of. But sobriety as awarded me the opportunity to amend the wreckage of my past. I want to especially thank my daughter, Gia, for her courage and her strength. I also want to thank her for giving me a chance to show her that I can be a better dad. I love you, Gia!
