My name is Jimmy

Drug of Choice: Alcohol

Sobriety date: 7/26/1983

I am so proud to share Jimmy’s story with you guys. His story is unique, obviously, as it is a video submission. And this is the first time I’ve ever had the opportunity to put forth a video. So I’m pretty excited.

I have been following Jimmy for a while now and I can honestly say it has been such a pleasure getting to know him. Jimmy is a wealth of knowledge, experience, empathy, and compassion, plus a huge advocate for those new to sobriety or seeking sobriety.

Jimmy and I correspond now and again, however brief. But It is those brief interactions that renew my own convictions to help others and carry the message. 

Jimmy is well-attuned to social media and spreads his message faithfully. He is definitely worth following on Instagram: @jcp83recovery
