Welcome to the Revolution
Welcome. We’re glad you’re here.
My name is Charles “Billy” Litchfield, and alongside my wife, Missy, we are a family living in long-term recovery from mental health and substance use disorders. There was a time in my life when I believed I was beyond help—too far gone, too broken, and that the damage caused by my addiction could never be repaired.
I was wrong.
Recovery changed everything.
On February 2, 2021, I experienced one of the lowest moments of my life. I was arrested at my home and taken away in front of my family. The shame, humiliation, and pain of that day seemed impossible to overcome. Yet, that very moment became the turning point that led me to seek help and begin my recovery journey.
Five years later, on February 2, 2026, I celebrated a milestone I once thought impossible—five years of sobriety.
Recovery gave me a second chance: a second chance at life, at relationships, at purpose, and most importantly, a second chance to become the person I was always meant to be. Today, I proudly volunteer with WakeUp Carolina, helping individuals and families impacted by substance use disorders. As a Certified Peer Support Specialist, I have had the privilege of walking alongside others as they begin their own journeys toward healing and hope.
Our staff are not just professionals—we are living proof that recovery is possible. We are walking, talking examples that lives can be rebuilt, families can heal, and hope can be restored.
My story is just one among millions. Every day, people from all walks of life are discovering that recovery works.
If recovery was possible for someone like me, it is possible for you too.
So, the question is simple:
Are you ready to add your story to the millions who have found recovery?

Invest in Yourself.
The biggest investment you will ever make is in yourself. What if I told you that because of your past you will be limited in how far you go in life? If you’re in active recovery then yes you are limited in how far you can go in life, and that limit isn’t set by…
Drugs Courts Aren’t Failing Addicts, Addicts Are Failing Addicts
Drug Courts aren’t failing Addicts, Addicts are failing Addicts. https://medium.com/@jrweaver/drugs-courts-arent-failing-addicts-addicts-are-failing-addicts-6904870de91c The harsh truth is every participant comes into a drug court program wanting to change, that change can be a temporary fix or a life long fix. We just don’t know it yet. I pleaded into Charleston County Drug Court on 15 November 2017 with…
