When Bryan Hullihen was seven years old he and his family moved to Lake Worth, FL which is about fifteen minutes north of Ft. Lauderdale. This was Bryan’s first experience with what most would consider “city life”. Up to that point Bryan had only lived in a small agricultural town of Florida. Bryan was an honor role student prior to moving to “the city” and when his first report card from the new school came his parents were less than happy. Bryan brought home a report card of three - F’s, three - D’s, and one – C. At this point in Bryan’s life his mother was still a stay at home mom so his father was the only income which meant there was not a lot of extra money in the home. This didn’t stop Mr. Hullihen’s father from enrolling Bryan into private school the day after he brought home that report card.  Bryan Hullihen and his father developed a study plan together to help Bryan improve his grades and they worked on it together every day. Within a few short weeks Bryan’s grades returned to A’s and B’s. This was one of Bryan’s first experiences in overcoming set backs with planning, effort, and perseverance. The level or gratitude Bryan had for his accomplishment was unparalleled up to that point in his life as he not only accomplished his goal he made his parents proud for their son and their investment in his education. Mr. Hullihen utilizes this experience in his life to remind him not only of the importance of hard work and dedication but of the importance of family and support as well. Mr. Hullihen states, “If it wasn’t for the relentless love and support of my family I wouldn’t be half the man I am today”.

Informational Story about Bryan Hullihen

For several more years Bryan Hullihen continued to experiment with drugs and drink alcohol while his behavior became increasingly more unstable due to his continued substance abuse. Bryan spent most of his time during this phase of his life with his girlfriend, his stepbrother, and his stepbrother’s girlfriend. Although Bryan was only 17 he drank more alcohol than most 21-year olds and he lived his life as if it were a perpetual party. The beginning of the end for this way of life for the young Mr. Hullihen occurred one night while camping with those who Bryan spent most of his time with.

Bryan Hullihen starts telling his own story

Up until this point my story it has been lived by me and delivered to you in writing by somebody else due to the fact that I have been in prison for several years following a relapse. For a while I considered allowing that person to continue to write my story for me, however, I feel that a story is best told by the person who lived it. By this time in my life I was completely defeated and was willing to do whatever I needed to do in order to stop suffering so I entered into the treatment facility that my sister got me into with a level of humility that I hadn't felt in a long time. I fought against myself for far too long and I was done fighting. When I arrived at the treatment facility it was a whirlwind of questions and intake procedures so by the time it was all finished I was exhausted and soon after being given some detox medications I was out for the count for several hours. When I woke up the next day I was directed to a group that was filled with firefighters as this was j...
