Timothy O’Farrell struggled to fit in in high school and began drinking to cope with his low self-esteem. It would be years before he saw a problem with this drinking.
Years later, married with two kids, Timothy had several surgeries where he was introduced to the world of pain medication. Struggling with depression, Timothy began to use alcohol again to ease the pain. When the alcohol was insufficient, he turned to oxycontin, Vicodin, Dilaudid, Ambien, methadone, and more alcohol.
Receiving treatment at a center, Timothy became very active in Alcoholics Anonymous, service, meetings, the fellowship and working the 12 steps, but he was still overcome with depression. Timothy O’Farrell lost his battle with addiction on Feb. 14, 2011. He lives on through those that are empowered through this organization and experiencing recovery at sober living home programs.
“For a long time, I have been asking God what can I do for those that still suffer like I did,” said Founder of Timothy O’Farrell Recovery Vincent Webb. “I was inspired to provide financial support to those like myself who are undertaking recovery in sober living homes.”
