R4R New Office

Hello everyone,

We opened up the new Racing for Recovery office located at 901 Washington St. Toledo, Ohio 43614 on Wednesday night with a great support group meeting. It is truly humbling to have witnessed people coming to OUR building and benefiting from yet another Racing for Recovery meeting.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. We needed alot of assistance with a variety of things and the group came through for the greater good and I appreciate everyone who was involved.

Our spirituality meeting has been awesome and going strong for the past couple months. Regarding our holistic approach to sobriety this is a key component to my recovery and I am fortunate to be a part of this format. Thanks to Pastor Darryl Cousino for leading this support group.

I will be speaking at Darryl's church Olivet in Sylvania this Sunday at 9:30 am then off to New Hampshire on Wed for speaking gigs returning Friday morning for a speaking gig in Perrysburg Ohio and once again leaving for New Hampshire the following week. I love getting out there and sharing the Racing for Recovery message.

My wife Melissa and son Konor celebrate their birthdays on Tuesday May 1 and I want to say Happy B- Day and I love you both. Another example of sobriety my friends because without sobriety I would not have the family and life that I graciously have today.

Tonight and all day tomorrow I will be in Troy Michigan taking a class called Death and Dying. I have completed my Master of Counseling Degree but need 4 additional class to be certified in Ohio. I can and do work under the supervision of someone in the meantime to provide the counseling services that many people are asking for.

The 3rd Annual Racing for Recovery Half and Sprint Triathlon is approaching on June 10 and we are looking forward to another amazing day. Entries are rolling in from all over the United States and I want to thank everyone that is not only participating in the event but volunteering for it as well.

In closing here is a message to those who are struggling. You can recover and go on to achieve anything you want in life. It is a simple decision to stop and then put the same effort you did into getting hammered into getting your life together. A holistic approach of mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally is a good way to go. Whatever you find as a way to help you run with it and do not worry about what others say you should or should not do.

I thank God and everyone who I am associated with for my life and this program.
