Roy’s Personal Journey To Sobriety

Since age seven Roy began his journey with alcohol – having stolen left over drinks from the table at family functions. His initial round of sobriety began at age 13, while still in the 7th grade. Roy first practiced 12-step recovery as a young teen, and remained sober for several years before making another go at controlled drinking and further “research.” During a twelve-year relapse, he immediately began suffering the consequences such as school expulsions, hefty fines for legal and illegal matters, and a continuously suspended driver’s license.

It wasn’t until his mid-twenties, after too much pain, suffering and consequences, Roy finally made a sincere attempt to make the change for the better. Roy hasn’t found it necessary to drink for close to 20 years now. His life is packed with regular opportunities to hike, snowboard, cycle, surf and white water raft. He is humbled to say that he is living life to the fullest and he enjoys giving back to teach others how to do the same in their recovery.
