When Bryan Hullihen was 9 years old his mother moved he and his sister Heather to Jupiter, FL. According to Mr. Hullihen: ''Jupiter was a paradise and we live right on the beach. The schools, people, businesses, streets, everything was nicer than where we lived before”. Bryan Hullihen moved to Jupiter, FL during the summer between his third and fourth grade year and he made many friends during that summer. Bryan spent most of his time with his new friend Chris, two sisters named Joanna and Juliet, and their friend Angela. Living in such a nice area afforded these young kids a lot of freedoms and most of their free time was spent swimming in pools, riding bicycles, or hanging out at the beach. For the most part they hung out together all the time. Joanna and Juliet were new to Jupiter, FL as well and they arrived there from South Africa the same summer as Bryan. Chris was also fairly new to the area as he moved there from West Virginia at the end of the previous school year. Bryan Hullihen what is a precocious young boy and when he wasn't with his friends he enjoyed spending time with people older than himself such as his uncle or his sister and her friends. This decision seemed to always place Bryan ahead of the curve when it came to being around kids his own age and probably exposed him to certain behaviors a bit prematurely. Mr. Hullihen recalls this time as the best years of his entire childhood; innocent, fun, and exciting.

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...

Bryan Hullihen's intro to other drugs

Around this time Bryan Hullihen moved back to Jupiter Florida with his friend who's name was also Brian. Bryan rented a room from his friend's mother for a small amount of money that he paid each week. It was a good thing that it wasn't a lot of money because he didn't make much. Bryan got a job working for a landscaping company where he worked each day during the week and quickly proved his worth to the organization. At this point in Bryan's life he would not touch alcohol and truly believed his problem to solely be that concerning the use of alcohol which is exactly why he found it so easy to decide to start smoking pot again at twenty-one  years old. Every day Bryan went to work he would see so many of the people that he worked with smoking pot with seeming impunity and, with the belief that his problem was solely alcohol, he found easy to jump off that cliff one morning with the rest of his crew. That day was a breeze for Bryan as he recalls barely thinking abo...

Bryan Hullihen 1999

Bryan Hullihen spent the majority of his free time while living at Born Anew either at 12-step meetings or surfing on Palm Beach Island. Mr. Hullihen talks about that time of his life with such warm regard and recalls the simplicity of working a humble job, going to 12-step meetings, and surfing in one of the nicest places in the country as his primary focuses. Bryan got a job working for an extremely wealthy woman who lived on Palm Beach Island about a half-mile from Donald Trump's Resort/house. This particular woman owned a commercial real estate business and hired Bryan initially to simply do a couple odds and ends but ended up hiring him on full-time after a single week. She knew Bryan was an alcoholic in recovery and since she had a close relative that suffered from addiction, she wanted to help Bryan however she could. Bryan was extremely grateful for this opportunity because it allowed him to focus on recovery from his alcoholism while feeling valued by someone as success...
