Twenty years.

Ten years ago, I called your sobriety “a huge feat.” It was. After fourteen years of addiction, every sober day was a miracle. We knew how close we had come to losing you, and we never took your recovery for granted.

Twenty years is not one decision. It is thousands of quiet decisions. Over the past two decades you’ve built a life of integrity, compassion, and truth. You pray, meditate, and carry a quiet peace that radiates to everyone around you. You’ve built two successful businesses that you lead with vision. You keep your word, and people trust you. Spirituality isn’t simply part of your life – it is the foundation upon which you’ve built everything else.

Years ago, a young man struggling with constant relapse told me, “If Jeff can do it, so can I.” You give others hope. You give back. You quietly make the world a better place.

Your family, your friends, and all who love you celebrate this remarkable achievement.

We’ll continue to stay close.

Thank you for coming home – to yourself and to us.
