I really do think my recovery is a higher power thing
Imagine hitting rock bottom in college, battling alcoholism, and then finding yourself building software for NASA's Curiosity Rover. That's exactly what happened to Brian. His story is a rollercoaster ride from the depths of addiction to the heights of engineering achievement. Dropping out of college due to his drinking habits, Brian faced legal troubles that led him to a court-ordered rehab.
It was there that he confronted his addiction head-on, guided by the 12-step program and a newfound willingness to change. With the support of a higher power and a community that believed in him, Brian turned his life around. His journey from a struggling student to a NASA engineer is not just about career success but also about personal redemption.
He found joy in the small things, made amends with those he had hurt, and built a life he's proud of. Brian's story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, showing that with the right support and determination, recovery is not just possible—it's transformative.
