| Mike Devlin with his Mother, Anita Baglaneas Devlin |
With a seemingly perfect life with a loving family, good grades, and the top spot on his high school lacrosse team, Anita was in denial that her son could be an addict. But when faced with losing him, Anita faced his battles, along with hers, with bravery and determination. This powerful motherson story is chronicled in their co-authored book, S.O.B.E.R*.
Mike has been in Dallas since 2011 and has been very involved as a respected lacrosse coach, and is well-known in the recovery community.
