My purpose in life is to save other people, and I say that because there were, so I should be dead times over some of the stuff I got myself into right, and I'm sure you can relate to that, but my higher power kept me alive, and I tell people all the time there's going to be a day when I die and I'm going to meet my higher power and she's going to look at me and she's going to say: what did you do with your life?
Imagine spending 20 years in the grip of gang life and addiction, only to emerge as a beacon of hope for others. That's Garrett's story. Growing up in a military family, he struggled to find his place, moving from base to base. Eventually, he found acceptance in a gang, quickly climbing the ranks. But this path led him to prison and deeper into addiction. Garrett's turning point came when he hit rock bottom and realized a change was necessary.
With the unwavering support of his family and the guidance of Alcoholics Anonymous, he found sobriety and a new purpose. Today, Garrett dedicates his life to helping others break free from addiction and crime. He takes AA meetings into prisons, offering a lifeline to those still trapped in the cycle he once knew so well. He's also a respected figure in his East Valley, Arizona church, showing that transformation is possible.
Garrett's journey is a powerful testament to the impact of support, family, and faith in recovery. Tune in to hear his inspiring story and understand the importance of these elements in overcoming life's toughest challenges.
