Changing Lives Newsletter |
Jim used to wander downtown Denver with nothing but a suitcase filled with clothes. His mind was dulled by alcohol, and his heart was heavy with despair. Today, Jim has chosen to work close to the same streets he used to wander drunk. Every day, Jim sees men struggling to overcome addictions, just like he did. But he isn’t afraid; he knows that his heart and his life are in a new place, and he has the support he needs to stay clean and sober. As a teenager, Jim used drugs and alcohol to act out against his father. What began as a ploy for attention soon became addictions that gripped Jim firmly in their power. When Jim moved to Denver a few years ago, he knew he really needed help. He tried several different long-term recovery programs. Every time he graduated, he relapsed. “I realized I had nothing in my life to look forward to,” Jim explains of that bleak time.
