I am Mark Stevens, a living testament to the resilience of the human spirit. My 15-year odyssey from the abyss of addiction to authentic healing defines my journey. There was a time when I clung to the belief that drugs and alcohol were my sanctuary, eliminating fears and stress, providing a deceptive comfort. This belief wove a destructive pattern, a tale of legal woes, homelessness, and relentless cycles of despair. The turning point arrived during a moment of relapse, where a sincere prayer for help birthed a transformative epiphany. It was then that I grasped there was more to me than the confines of my mind and body, catalyzing a profound shift. The subsequent nine years became a dedicated embrace of recovery. I found solace in the fellowship of Cocaine Anonymous, immersed myself in counseling education, and delved into teachings that plumbed the essence of human existence. Triumphing over addiction fueled my resolve to guide others on their path to wholeness. This commitment germinated the Substance Addiction Movement, its cornerstone being the revolutionary "Conscious Comeback" program. My narrative transcends personal victory; it stands as a beacon of hope and guidance for those navigating their unique route to recovery. If my journey can illuminate the path for others, then every step, every struggle, and every triumph has been worth the arduous climb.
