John's story of recovery and redemption.
John was my first sponsor (spiritual advisor) in a 12-step program twenty-nine years ago. We met in the Army. John subsequently returned home, got married, and had a son. He advanced his concept of a personal Higher Power he received from the 12-step program to a devout belief in Jesus and Christianity. In the beginning, positive coincidences and circumstances beyond his control introduced him to a God of love and compassion and later exposure to dark forces and evil presences reinforced God's omnipresence.
He later entered the counseling field and finds a good amount of service to others through addiction therapy which includes directing alcoholics and addicts to various 12-step programs. He is not afraid to share his belief in God through the Bible but is not preachy or pushy. This approach has produced rapid results in many who cycled through the therapeutic system for years.
