I was born and raised in Dallas, Tx. I discovered Drugs and Alcohol at the age of 12 and they were instantly the love of my life. My addiction would go on for the next 16 years. There were many attempts at changing my life, followed by still worse failures. I just did drugs – it was all I knew how to do. I spent years of my life revolving in and out of treatment centers and incarceration, I lost my parental rights to my children, and I spent time homeless in Dallas. I lost literally everything, including my self respect and dignity. I discharged the criminal justice system for the last time in September of 2018. I remember at the time of discharge, thinking that I was going to get high again. More importantly, I remember thinking that I didn’t want to get high again, and knowing that wouldn’t matter. I discharged into The Dallas 24-Hour Club, where I was presented with a solution of recovery. This solution still works to this Day. I built a relationship with God, and he did for me what I had repeatedly failed to do for myself. I have never looked back, and more importantly I have found a purpose in life. That purpose is to pass on what was so freely given to me and to strive towards practicing spiritual principles in all of my affairs. I bring that purpose to work with me everyday, and consider it a privilege to get to watch God work in the lives of our residents. I have since regained the rights to my children and helped many men, like myself, stand up and walk again. I have watched the things in my life which used to haunt me, become my greatest assets, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
Marty was born in Bedford TX and has lived in the DFW area all his life. He found drugs and alcohol at the age of 15, dropped out of school in the 7th grade and got his GED in 2003. The next 15 years consisted of lots of jail time and 17 treatment centers. In May of 2018, He left a detox center for the last time and entered a sober living home. Through working a 12 step program and dedicating his time to helping others, he has remained sober. He has regained all the personal relationships that he had lost and has custody of my daughter. He views his lifelong experience of addiction as a gift he was given to be able to help the Chapter House residents achieve their goals and be successful. In his spare time he enjoys playing with his dog and spending time with his family.
