At the age of 17\, Sixto was sent back to New Mexico where he began using cocaine and crack. After the loss of his daughter’s mother in a DWI crash\, the courts removed Sixto’s daughter due to addiction. In 2016\, during a a drug-induced binge\, Sixto passed out in his truck with his 6yo son in the backseat. After this experience\, and being incarcerated and a short stay at a recovery center\, Sixto made the choice to become sober for his children. He started attending recovery meetings\, and channeling his energy into positive activities. Sixto took classes to become a CPSW\, and passed the test\, where a judge hired him to run a peer-supported probation program. He now stays clean and sober to be a positive role model for his children and his community.
