David Banks David is a recovering alcoholic and addict. His struggle with addiction began in his teenage years. After countless attempts at staying clean and sober, David hit his bottom in August 1996 at the age of 36. Everything tangible in his life was gone. No home, no car, no money, no job. From a jail cell, feeling alone and without any answers, he became determined to go to any length to change the course of his life. The opportunity came when he was sent to a state funded treatment center. Following a month in treatment David was offered to further his treatment at a new place in Mobile. He arrived at Serenity Care in September 1996. Having found a new life and excited about sobriety, David quit his job and returned to Serenity Care in 1997 to devote his work to helping other alcoholics and addicts. His understanding of the broken homes, the battered relationships, the despair over failure in the lives of these men allows him the empathy to work shoulder to shoulder with them.
