Jim’s Recovery Minute

“I love life again, I have… I live in a  great community, my kids are thriving, I am thriving. I get up every day just wanting to face the day… enjoy the day and all the opportunities it has.

And that’s sobriety, that’s life. And that’s me, so I’m just grateful to be able to give you this message.”
