Jake is a 27 year old recovering from drug addiction and alcoholism. Jake’s addiction led him to take advantage of his friends and family since he knew he had already earned their trust.

It took Jake years to realize his selfish behaviors and to reflect on his harmful lifestyle. He noticed his current path was a dead end and sought to give back to society instead of always looking to take from it.

Jake’s triumph over his addiction has led him to discover the primary purpose of his life which is to help and be of service to others. He wants anyone struggling with drug addiction or alcoholism to know that there is a way out of the darkness and that it can get better.
