John & Steven

Saturday, February 22, 2025 • Los Angeles, CA

Our story of Finding one another is truly a testament to the personal growth each of us has undergone through our journey of Recovery & Sobriety.

It was a Monday night meeting where John first saw Steven sitting across the room in his red flannel shirt. And also where Steven beheld this tall, attractive, quiet man across the room. Fortunate for them, the group went to Fellowship after the meeting, allowing them both to meet and connect. Now it was several more months before that connection ignited into a spark. At a Halloween Party, an adorable Dalmatian came to sit with John in his bright orange pumpkin T-shirt. Steven recalls he was so cute and dorky that night. So Steven worked up the courage to place his hand on John's knee while sitting along side him.

With that simple gesture, John a Steven's relationship began to grow.
