Steve's Story

Steve Wilson

My name is Steve Wilson, I’m 42 years old. I grew up in North Andover, Massachusetts. I was adopted early on in my life, and I remember my parents went through a rough divorce. Going into my adult years I started to realize that I had some identity issues. I held on to pain, anger, and resentment. Alcohol slowly crept into my life which turned out to be a full-blown addiction. This wrecked my marriage as well.  I was trying to drown out the pain and suppressed anger I was holding onto.  My life spiraled out of control, and I needed help.  I didn’t know where to turn.I came to know Jesus about 12 years ago and started to have a growing relationship with Him. I learned that I could give all those things that I held onto, and He would give me Peace. All the love and acceptance I was looking for was right there the whole time in Jesus!  Over some time, I lost focus and took my eyes off Christ, and I started to sink. I reached out to Fred at the Fix, and he welcomed me into the men’s home to work on restoring my relationship with Jesus. I’ve since completed that process and I am currently serving as an intern. I can’t run from this call God has placed on my life, but I can use what I have learned in ministry to help other men with similar struggles. Together we can overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of our Testimonies.
