Recovering addict

I began my recovery journey on March 13, 2021.
Pej has been by my side trudging this path with me since I found my way into recovery. In the beginning he provided me with not just a safe place to live and get my sobriety started, but also provided me an environment that encouraged me to explore and develop a strong program and desire for recovery. Pej is deeply rooted in everything that real recovery entails. Without a doubt it definitely rubbed off on me. As my recovery progressed I was able to turn to Pej when needed for advice or guidance. He has always been able to provide me with true, honest, and genuine answers. Whether it is what I wanted to hear or not, but always what I needed to hear. Today I know I have a lifelong friend in Pej. There is a relationship built on honesty, respect, kindness, and love. My life is continuing to blossom into something beautiful. My life continues to become more full because I work a strong program. I had men like Pej set an example of what a strong program is, what TRUE recovery is. Pej is definitely a pillar in my recovery journey. Not only does Pej play a part in my recovery and countless others recovery, but he allows us to play a part in his recovery. That’s how this whole thing works, just one helping another.
I love you Pej.

Pej has had a profound impact on my life. Our paths crossed in 2020 when I relocated to Orange County. Throughout my personal challenges and setbacks, Pej has consistently provided unwavering support and encouragement, without any judgment. His contributions to my personal growth and recovery have been unparalleled. Pej's compassionate and caring nature initially drew me to him, and I highly recommend his assistance to anyone struggling with addiction. Seeking help is a decision you won't regret.

Pej is the engineer to the foundation of my sobriety and my AA program. Pej has helped me achieve significant time in recovery. He helped reunited me with my kids and have a real chance at a healthy marriage.

Wow what would i do without the help of Pej in my life. Pej is an amazing human being who genuinely cares about everyone's best well being. When I got out of treatment for the 3rd time in my life, my wife told me she had found a life coach that will help me stay on track. At first, my thoughts were that this guy is probably just another typical counselor or sponsor in the NA/AA program who is going to be repeating the same repetitive things that i've heard for years, yet, I continued to relapse. I'm in NC and Pej is in CA and I've never even met him in person, so my initial thoughts were that i knew there was no possible way this random"life coach" could help me in any way.However, I was at my end and I was willing and open minded to anything that could possibly help so I decided to meet with Pej on a weekly basis via Zoom meetings. He taught me so much about recovery and told me to apply things in my life to help stay on track and stay sober. True accountability, staying close to my Higher Power, and staying out of my head and helping others are the key things that Pej taught me that have kept me sober once and for all.

My name is Marcus and I am an alcoholic. My sobriety date is may 27 2023. When I first met Pej it was through his girlfriend Dana who was a friend of a girl I was seeing at the time. I had told Dana I had gotten into a dark side of treatment centers into a hustle called body brokering. It’s a deal in which you get paid to go to treatment. To backtrack I had been in and out of treatment centers for the last 5 years trying to get sober the last year and a half doing the body brokering deal. I was telling myself I would do it long enough to get a car and then live in my vehicle to escape the never ending treatment centers. In each and every situation I was in I blamed the people places and things around me when at the end of the day I was the only common denominator in each and every situation. I was in denial that I had a problem and the problem was me and my way of thinking and my drug and alcohol consumption was the solution to my way of living . A vicious cycle. When I went to Pej and told him of my situation he tried to get me into a couple of treatment centers and even at one point his sober living . I wasn’t ready and still had the opportunity to leave and go anywhere I wanted because of my insurance card . Once I kept leaving the places Pej got me into he eventually intervened and told my father about the body brokering . I was pissed because now I was out of options . However this was the beginning of my path to recovery. I ran on self will a bit while longer and was beaten into a state of reasonableness and was then willing to take direction . I asked Pej to be my sponsor and he took me through the steps . I now have the longest I’ve ever had sober and am living in his essence house sober living . I still have a long way to go and Pej is couching me now in life lessons that will help me continue my path in life as a success . Now I realize with God and sobriety all things are possible. Thank you Pej for all you have done for me and countless others !
