From homeless to sober father and safety manager.
Sober since September 6, 2018 8 years
About me
Hi My name is Justin Stucky. I am a alcoholic/ addict. I have been sober for four years now. The battle I went through, losing friends, family, jobs and myself. The battle that took everything from me and made me into someone who I no longer recognized and almost ended me for good. I won that battle and want to share my story in hopes of inspiring and helping anyone who is currently struggling or have someone in their life struggling. You can overcome. You can get your life back and shine your unique light to the world! I’m living proof addiction doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Don’t let it be for you!
Written in November 2022, when I was four years sober.
I was homeless when I met my now wife. I didn’t have shoes, no training, and started on the factory floor and moved up to being a safety manager, which allows me to interact with everyone daily, share my faith and story, help bring others to Jesus while helping with their struggles, all while maintaining their safety at work.
