Quinn House Director Conquered His Demons
Former alcoholic avoided his own suicide to become counselor and mentor
Reprinted from: NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS-BRASELTON-BUFORD-HOSCHTON-FLOWERY BRANCH - October 2010, Page 11
By Christy Smith Staff Correspondent
LAWRENCEVILLE - It was on Christmas morning 1995. Thirty seven year old Gene Brinkley woke up in his car only to realize that he had failed once again. The homeless, divorced, high school dropout had recently been fired from his job as Santa Claus. Bitter and angry, he drove to the intersection of I-985 and Buford Highway intending to step in front of a tractor-trailer truck to kill himself. But before he died, Gene wanted one last drink. The bottle of vodka and bottle of whisky he had bought along with a gallon of gas took the last of his money. But, instead of staggering across the Interstate, to take his final walk in this life, Gene passed out cold in a drunken stupor.
Our Recovery Program
Instead of a more traditional program that treats addiction as a disease, we adhere to the belief that addiction is a choice-based disorder. In other words, if you continually make the same choices, they eventually become part of your automatic or habitual behavior. The key word here is choice. Webster defines “choice” as the act of selecting; the power of choosing or that you have options.
The Quinn House Difference
I recently had a discussion with one of our past guests. We talked about how his life had turned around since he left the Quinn House and the role we had played in his new found success. I was quite taken by the excitement in his voice, as he explained the difference in his new attitude. He stated that he had received more than just a second chance.
