Redemption can take place while you're still above ground

Recovery Internet Radio
Patrick grew up on the near West side in a good Italian neighborhood; Dad a cop and part time jewel thief and Mom a hard working patronage employee.  By sixth grade he stopped caring about school and by high school his uncle bribed him into graduation with a ½ oz. of coke to the guidance counselor.  He got a no-show job like lots of kids in the neighborhood but quickly moved up to driving for some much older and criminally serious people.  Drugs ended his gangster career and he started a new career selling and using meth.  Medical issues interfered with the meth but other drugs and drinking replaced it until rehab in 2013.  A relapse, several battery charges and 104 days in jail convinced him to clean up.  He’ll tell you how he found out that redemption can take place while you’re still above ground and breathing. Wed, 15 April 2015
