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 successful and loving as this woman. It was during this time of Bryan Hullihen's life that he learned the value of humility and the importance of gratitude. You see Bryan still did not own a vehicle and had to ride his bicycle each day a couple miles from an extremely rough part of Palm Beach County (West Palm Beach) over the bridge to Palm Beach Island where some of the wealthiest people in the world lived. For months Bryan would return home from Palm Beach Island to Born Anew and would experience an extreme amount of gratitude for where he lived. Where he lived was not a nice place by any stretch of the imagination, but each day Bryan would humbly ride his bike to work and gratefully return home to a place that was teaching him how to recover from alcoholism. That is why Bryan was there and he knew it. Recovering from what he learned to be a mental disorder (Alcoholism) was the reason Bryan was at Born Anew and the more recovery he found the more happiness he experienced. While the majority of Bryan's childhood friends spent that year finishing their first year of college he spent it learning how to recover from alcoholism and the importance of humility and gratitude and achieving success.

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.
