Michael was a character with a larger-than-life personality. He was a son, a brother and a father as well as a friend to many. Michael was bright and talented, often a care-free and fun-loving guy, but he had bouts with anger, depression and sadness too. That's where the addiction came in, and over-time, the whole family suffered as they helplessly watched his decline...
Inspired by the loss of her son, Michael Oliver, at age 36 and with the encouragement of friends, Back On Track Addiction Ministry was founded in July 2020 by Lynette Oliver, in order to reach out to those affected by addiction. The ministry assists people with detox, rehabilitation and transitional housing, as well as providing education, spiritual guidance and support groups...

What is it like to be hopelessly addicted?
Testimony of CRC:
"My addiction took my life into a world filled with darkness, pain, violence, and death. Throughout this time, your thrift store and ministry showed and gave me more care and compassion beyond what I deserved. Year after year, I hid from the world and exiled myself into a prison that I made myself and ironically called it freedom. Drugs took me further into chaos than I ever wanted to go, and I thought that was the only way I could survive..."
