Chris McArthur has been in recovery for over seventeen years. Through his faith in GOD, AA, and a desire for redemption lead a purpose driven life. Chris can still remember his childhood trauma's as if they had happened yesterday. He can still hear the discouraging words of his alcoholic farther cutting into his very soul. The words hurt far worse than any beating that his farther could have given him. Chris would watch his farther destroy everything of value in life until he had lost it all. Over time Chris would learn to hate his father for the words, the beatings and the alcoholism. Chris would make it his purpose in life to never be the man that his farther was - until he woke up one morning as an adult and realized that it was too late. He was now dealing with addiction, and broken relationships as his life spiraled out of control. As he looked at all of the collateral damage that he had done to himself and others, he realized that he didn't lose it all - He traded it. For pain, hopelessness, and despair. Find out how Chris fought his way out of darkness and back into light in an episode of The Movement with Mongo that we call - I didn't lose my life, I traded it!
