He followed his mother’s lead in collection and sales of art, memorabilia and antiques.

At Bradford, he was known for his “auctioneer” portrayal of the purchase of a life turned over to God. The price being 100% committed to staying drug free. All (100%) being the only acceptable price! Kim made many friends of Bradford employees and Bradford patients. He influenced many and helped all by living drug free and clean. He walked the walk and was a living example. Kim traveled near and far to show others there is a better way. He set up, organized and managed the Alabama website for Cocaine Rehabilitation.

Recovery Road

I stumbled, I staggered, I fell, I cried.

I yelled, I screamed, I almost died,

I hit, I fought, I cussed, I lied.

I prayed for the end, by Gods grace I’m alive.

At the end of the road, I was given a book.

It was big, it was blue, it held things that were true.

I took it, I read it, I listened, I tried.

I found truth with a new light, where all hope had died.

I have a reason, I have drive, I have a purpose to be alive.

I have gratitude, I have faith, I have God standing by my side.

The 12 promises are real I know they come true.

Put the 12 steps in your life, grow up, and be……the real you.

Kim S. Weaver
