STEVEN DAVIS - CLEVELAND HOUSE TESTIMONY

My name is Steven Davis. I'm twenty-eight years old. I was born and raised in Warren, Ohio, about forty-five minutes south of Cleveland. I was raised by divorced parents- an only child of a loving mother. My mother always worked two jobs which left me alone most of the time. Growing up I always felt "less than", and that lead me to try to fit in wherever I could,  which eventually led to drinking and smoking pot.  I was thirteen when I took my first drink: hard liquor, and I blacked out and don’t know what I did that night. I remember the next day swearing not to do it again but little did I know I had opened a door that I would Not be able to shut no matter how much I wanted it to close. The more I drank and used, the worse things got. I was always in trouble with the law. I was always around the older guys because it made me feel secure to be “part of.” I dropped out of school at age sixteen; I thought I could take care of myself. The alcohol and drugs had already distorted my perception and my ability to make decisions. I couldn’t see that it was ruining my life. Over the next ten years my life became a living hell. Always in trouble with the law, stealing, lying cheating—I would do whatever it took to get my booze and drugs

Eventually I ended up with multiple felonies that prevented me from getting any decent jobs but I don’t think I would have been able to be employed anyway. I destroyed all my friendships and relationships. The girl of my dreams eventually had enough of me too. My family was sick and tired of my lies. Life as I knew it was over and I didn’t care if I lived or died. I hated myself; I was overcome with guilt shame and pity. I never thought my life was going to end up like this when I took my first drink. I felt completely hopeless and I couldn’t see a way out at the time. Little did I know that there was hope on the horizon. I was soon to know life like never before. My life was about to be flipped around and my journey would start at a place called The Cleveland House.

At first I didn’t know what was going to take place. I came to Florida to the Cleveland House because I couldn’t stand looking into my mother’s eyes knowing her only son had amounted to nothing. So I left home not knowing what to expect. I came to Cleveland house March 12, 2005. When I got there, there were guys from all over: Philadelphia, Boston, New Jersey,  etc. They were all just like me- trying to start over and start a new life. There were several different twelve step programs to get involved with. So I hung out with the guys that were trying to stay sober.

I started going to meetings trying to find a solution to my problem. One day I met a man that showed me a perfect design for staying sober and clean. He promised me if I did what he told me that my life would change beyond my wildest dreams and he was right. Today my life is better than I could ever have imagined. I’m getting ready to start my own business. I never thought I could be this happy. I’m not talking about material things; I’m talking about the way I feel on the inside. -- Steven Davis
