About Me
Because of AA and an open mind I am A Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of TEXAS and have been working in the addiction field for 0ver 17 years. I was ordained as a Minister with focus on Pastoral Counseling in 2000 non denominational (roots in AOG) and use Trauma Resolution Therapy in my practice. I continue to attend AA at least 3 times per week. ..................................MY STORY.................................... 18 years (4-1991) free of the horror of drug addiction. I AM NOT PERFECT. I have a history... much of it is not pleasant. It was and continues to be an education though and one that has brought me to an understanding of MERCY and of LOVE. A long story short... I was raped when I was 11... made up my mind I hated the human race. Started using marijuana and alcohol at age 14... seemed to help but only ended up making things worse. By age 18 I was in to harder drugs. Got "saved" at 19 but was a milk fed Christian... didn't understand the basic premise of Jesus' teachings. "I have come to set you free" from the past and from the Adam nature but that I am still responsible for everything I do. (Still struggle with that one) That I can do what I want or what HE wants. My walk IN the Lord didn't last... the feel good went away and I thought HE left so I went back to what I knew could make me feel (or not feel) better immediately. I stayed in that lifestyle until I was 37 and almost dead. Death by my own hand. I was sitting in a rehab having lost everything but one. A deep sense that I was not alone. On April the 9th 1991 I went into my room and I got on my knees and TOLD God "OK I give up... I surrender... I haven't looked back but to use my story to help others. Do I still make mistakes... yes, am I always a Good man... I try. DO I want to be... YES. Will I continue to falter and stray from the correct path... yes. I thank GOD and AA for getting me to accept who I was and loving who I am today. The program has been a blessing in many ways. I have custody of and am raising my 14 y/o son and GOD has seen fit to bring a truly beautiful, intelligent and loving woman into my life. We became one on 8-8-8. They both know how to keep me on my toes lol.
