In this personal testimony, Dallas Bragg recounts his transformation from a chronic crystal‑meth addict and repeat felon to a sober individual and coach. Five years ago he was released from jail for the fourth time on felony drug‑possession charges, living homeless in a dilapidated hotel, relying on his children for support, and taking the bus because he had no car. While enrolled full‑time in the Becklenburg County Drug Treatment Court and attending rehab, he worked two jobs and celebrated each week by passing all five required drug tests. Over time he accumulated sober time, rebuilt his relationship with his children, and forged a new relationship with himself. Today he works as a sober coach, offering guidance to others seeking the same recovery path.

Hi, my name is Dallas Bragg, and 5 years ago I was a crystal meth addict. I had just been released from jail for my 4th time for felony drug possession charges. The only people that would talk to me were my kids who picked me up from jail. I was living out of the nastiest hotel room you could possibly imagine. I took the bus everywhere I went because I had no car. I was working 2 jobs while enrolled in full-time in the Becklenburg County Drug Treatment Court. As well as rehab. The highlight of my week was passing all 5 of my drug tests. And so after a while, I got some sober time under my belt. Now I am a brand new creature. I have a brand new relationship with my children. And best of all, I have a brand new relationship with myself. And now I'm a sober coach, and I can help you do the same.
