About
My name is Mike and I am a sports junkie. Actually, to be more specific, I was also an addict. My drug of choice was alcohol and I have been to Hell and back with that addiction. I have hit rock bottom and worked my way back up using the tools that are described in any AA meeting or rehab session. I have many friends from the recovery community and want to give back some of the caring, support and love, that I received during my struggles, and my current journey. I love to write and blogging is a great way for me to focus my energy into something other than the life I used to live. I work full time for a major cell phone company and live in the Chicago suburbs right now. I am a huge Sox, Bear, and Boston Celtic fan, and a Cub hater!! I have played all kinds of sports competitively my entire life and a little in college.
Having seen and experienced both the good and evil side of addiction, I hope to be able to inspire, if not just relate to others that are struggling with this disease. People with addiction are looked at as monsters or outcasts, and my goal is that at least on one website, people can find a friend that has the same struggles they have. Please feel free to comment, and pass the word. I have changed my addiction from alcohol to sports and the “high” of helping others. Please enjoy and share stories through the comments or contact link if you please. It’s always good to share, you are not alone.
