I can't believe I had five amazing children and that I'm sitting in this room with you guys and that after this, I'm going to go back onto the milieu and I'm going to talk to individuals that met me Years Ago in my addiction, that see me now and they're in shock that I am who I am Today.

It was a wake-up call that pushed Joel to surrender to a higher power and commit to recovery. His journey emphasizes that no matter how dire the situation, there's always a way out.

Now, as a Behavioral Health Technician, Joel uses his experiences to help others on their recovery journeys. His story is an inspiring reminder that it's never too late to start anew.
