About Peter Litton

Peter

In March of 2013 Peter got a phone call from a neighbor.  He was suffering from the effects of alcohol on his life and he didn't know what to do.  Within hours Peter took his neighbor to a local recovery meeting and this kicked off a very special friendship. Through his help over the ensuing critical months Peter and his neighbor Pete became very close. Helping Pete, Peter learned about alcoholism and what it takes to be in recovery and stay there. Story after story, Peter learned of the successes of so many alcoholics who could have easily failed--as many do with this disease. Through this friendship, Peter was inspired to help others in need and help those in recovery share their successes both as a service to them and to expand the fellowship beyond those the recovering addicts were currently reaching. Peter is a product developer living in Chicago.
