I never would have said I want to be an alcoholic and an addict and I want to be, like you know, arrested and hanging out in hospitals.
Michael Conklin's story is one of transformation and resilience.

Through treatment, brutal honesty, and relentless hard work, Michael found a path to recovery and now dedicates his life to helping others do the same. Michael’s story is not just about overcoming addiction; it’s about realizing the potential for change in all areas of life.
