Bryan Hullihen's first day of school in the new town was both filled with excitement and events that set his reputation off to a pretty good start as far as Bryan was concerned. Bryan had just spent the entire summer with his new friend Chris and they grew very close over that time. Chris was a chubby kid and not very athletic and being from out of town the previous year some of the older kids would make fun of him. Bryan had no idea Chris had gone through that as Chris hid it from the young Mr. Hullihen. Bryan and Chris rode the bus together and when they pulled into school Bryan could plainly see that his friend was scared. Chris finally explained to Bryan that on the last day of school the previous year three boys that were older than him tried to beat him up and he barely escaped to his bus without incident. The three boys told Chris they’d get him on the first day of school after summer and, sure enough, they were waiting for him at the bus loop that morning. Bryan Hullihen was a brave young boy and nobody was going to beat up his friend without him doing everything he could to stop it. Bryan told Chris that he would get off the bus first and get in their way so Chris could run to class which ended up working pretty well. Chris took off running down the corridor and the three boys ran off in a different direction so Bryan quickly caught up with him. They began laughing together as Bryan put his arm around his friend to let him know that he was safe. Their celebration was short lived, however, as they rounded the corner of the corridor to find the three boys waiting for them out of sight of all the teachers and students. Bryan knew that Chris couldn't outrun them now so he put his backpack on the ground and stepped between the boys and his friend with his fist up and ready to fight. To Bryan’s surprise, and relief, the three boys were so impressed with his bravery they didn't do anything to the two youngsters except ask Bryan his name and where he was from. Bryan Hullihen later found out that he stood up to the three toughest kids in the school all by himself which spread very quickly amongst all the young children and earned him a warm welcome in a new school. When Bryan relayed this information to me as his author I could see his face light up when he recalls this time in his life. All those boys later became close friends and had a lot of fun together as they grew up and learned about life in the beautiful beach community of Jupiter, Florida.

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 and his friends had been drinking all night while camping on an island when around midnight they had run out of beer. Not wanting the party to end Bryan took his friend’s boat back to the marina where his vehicle was parked and headed off to the store to buy more alcohol. Bryan ended up at the beach as his friend’s birthday party was ending and he hoped to catch his friend to wish him a happy ...

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 Early Adult Years

At 18 years old Bryan Hullihen entered into the sober living program called "Born Anew" which was located in an extremely rough part of West Palm Beach. Bryan had no vehicle at the time, no job, and had no idea how to overcome his insatiable desire to drink alcohol. Born Anew was a program which consisted of three neighboring houses that all shared one big backyard where there was a gazebo and an office. The gazebo was very large and is where most of the meetings centered around recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction took place. This program was for males only and between the three houses there were about 20 members of the program. The first several days Bryan was not allowed to leave the program grounds and he was given certain tasks and chores to accomplish to help him stay busy and learn a little humility. Around 5:00 in the evening all the other members of the program would return home from their jobs and, following dinner, would join together in the gazebo for rec...
