BUILDING A LIFE FREE FROM ADDICTION

‍

His comeback story begins behind bars . . . Shane was sitting in a jail cell, the fog of drugs finally lifting, when it hit him: She hasn’t even turned one yet.

His daughter needed her dad. His wife needed her husband. I’m not the father or husband I want to be, he thought. “I knew if I didn’t change,” says Shane, “I’d lose everything and spend the rest of my life in prison or die.”

‍

GRIPPED BY ADDICTION

For Shane, addiction took root at just 13. “I was bullied and very uncomfortable in my own skin, constantly trying to figure out where I belonged,” says Shane.

Growing up in a split household, there was little intervention as Shane started drinking. . . then using drugs. It was just supposed to take the edge off — to give him confidence and to numb anxiety. Not ruin his life.

“All my friends were going to high school. I was going in and out of juvenile hall,” says Shane. “My addiction became a cycle of arrests and time behind bars. But even in chaos, life threw me something good.”

While incarcerated, Shane met his wife.

They got married before his release, and he paroled into her home. He was working — and the couple found out they were expecting a baby. “I had a glimpse of the life I’d always wanted,” says Shane.

But addiction wreaked havoc again. “One drink turned into one line. One line turned into a needle. I was absent in every way,” says Shane.

A WAKE-UP BEHIND BARS

Shane got clean in a program — and got out the day his wife went into labor with their daughter.

“I was there, sober, holding her hand as our daughter came into the world,” he says. “That moment should’ve changed me forever. But addiction doesn’t let go that easily.”

Once more, Shane relapsed and found himself behind bars. “It broke me,” says Shane. “I wasn’t the father or husband I wanted to be. And I wasn’t going to spend any more time away from my daughter.” After his release, he spent a week with his family — then came straight to CityTeam.

“CITYTEAM HAS COMPLETELY PULLED MY LIFE TOGETHER”

For the first time, Shane found structure, community, and purpose. He reconnected with the Lord. He healed painful patterns. And he repaired relationships that felt beyond saving.

“This program is by far way better than any other program I’ve been to. It’s complete,” says Shane.

“CityTeam has completely pulled my life together.”

Shane is now becoming the father and husband he was always made to be. Through job-skills training and hard work, he’s now a Union worker — proud to be a provider for his family.

“My wife trusts me again. My daughter knows her dad. And I get to be part of her life in a way I never imagined possible,” says Shane. “They’re both so proud of me.”

“I’m proud of the work I’m doing. I’m proud to be providing for my family. And I’m proud to be building a life that’s solid — one brick at a time.” — Shane
