John Loughner
12 Step Recovery Leader

Seven years ago, I started a workshop on Sundays at First Evangelical Free Church in McKeesport.
At that time, my prayers were to continue to plant groups in the area. After praying for 4 years about this,
Terry Ruccio called me about starting a group at Sonshine. I knew in my heart that God was opening another door, and I started a 12 Step Recovery Group 3 years ago in September of 2007. Since then, we have been blessed with outreach on addiction of all kinds to help the suffering people of the community.
