Nathan shares his powerful journey from childhood trauma to finding lasting recovery after multiple relapses. His story reveals how early exposure to family addiction, violence, and loss shaped his relationship with substances and his path to healing.

• Experienced significant childhood trauma including his grandmother's murder when he was eight
• Found early escape through sports but struggled with anger and fighting throughout his youth
• Developed alcoholism and drug addiction following his father's pattern
• Experienced the typical "six to eight month" sobriety cycle before relapsing multiple times
• Reached rock bottom after his friend's suicide and a Thanksgiving Day drinking binge
• Achieved five years of "dry" sobriety before hitting an emotional bottom
• Finally found true recovery through working all Twelve Steps with a sponsor
• Transformed his relationship with his higher power by viewing God through the lens of his own fatherhood
• Now maintains sobriety through service work, including speaking at meetings and sponsorship
• Lives by the powerful reminder that "the magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding"

If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, remember that it's never too late to surrender and find recovery. The pain of change is far less than the pain of staying the same.
