Connor tried to escape reality ever since being a young teenager. Then the trouble began. Jail time, almost dying, being saved, rehabs, lost relationships, and family interventions. But, that did not stop him. When he took a step back and envisioned his family standing around his casket, he gave a friend a call, and it finally clicked to leave the hard drugs in the past. Then, 21 years old and bars found him and substance abuse began again, and back to treatment. He is now 31 years old and speaking at recovery groups himself. Connor is living proof that you CAN and WILL get through it if you work for it and want it bad enough.

Please contact Connor Absher via facebook or City Church in Bloomington, IN for more information on their recovery group meet ups. No matter where you are located, there is some kind of recovery group. If you need help finding these resources, email me at [email protected]

Jeff started drinking like a lot of others. College parties and out with friends, until it became deeper for him. After some very hard times, it was being used to cover up other emotions and underlying issues. Once being told he had a problem, it then became a challenge of hiding the drinking to not lose relationships. The attempts to be sober for others were tried, but they never clicked. After hiding away to drink with no judgement, it finally hit him that he must stop.

For my ONE YEAR of sobriety week, I wanted to have an amazing friend on to talk to me about what she saw, experienced, and helped with through my struggles. She also describes how much I have grown and sees that I finally found a passion in life. She is honest with me and we have some laughs about the past. A lot can happen in 13 years of friendship. I hope everyone has a friendship like this one!
