Born and raised in El Paso Texas, Mike Foster grew up in an exciting life of racing motorcycles and drumming in bands.  And though many positive adventures came out of his life style, addiction became a true reality in his early 20’s.  It wasn’t until the age of 32 that Mike’s world came crashing down and he had to face that drugs and alcohol were in complete control of his life.  After a successful stay at La Hacienda Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center, Mike was ready to start a brand new life in sobriety.  Through dedication, change, self-forgiveness, honesty, focused on purpose, and a committed life to Christ and serving others, Mike remains living a life free from addiction.  Over the past 7 years he has obtained his credentials as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, Internationally Certified Addiction Peer Recovery Coach, Internationally Certified Alcohol and Drug Addiction Counselor, Recovery Coach Training Facilitator for ICAADA and a Certified Nurturing Parenting Facilitator.  Today Mike lives in Northern Kentucky happily married to his wife with 5 children and 5 English Bulldogs.
