Do you believe in miracles? Alan S. Charles does!

For years, he wanted to share what was going on behind his mask. He heard so many others talk about the fear and anxiety they lived with on a daily basis, but he never felt able to share his own fears until he faced his darkest self and came out on the other side—something that even he wasn’t sure he could do.

Today, Alan shares his message of recovery with audiences worldwide. While his specific struggle was with cocaine addiction, Alan knows that behind all addictions are root causes of fear, codependency, dysfunctional behavior, and coping strategies. Therefore, his message pertains to everyone who has ever felt how difficult or frightening life may be—namely, all of us. People cope in different ways—some through drugs or violence, others through overeating, excessive spending, gambling, or multiple other dysfunctional behaviors.

These behaviors are meant to soothe, but ultimately, they become self-destructive. Even so, there is always a way to change and start again.
