 James (Jim) O’Rourke
- Jim was born on December 23, 1955 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Due to his “CC” family background (half Crook and half Cop), Jim’s Irish
Catholic father and French Catholic mother chose to have him educated in
the Catholic school system.
At the young age of 19, as a result of a rejection notice from the
Recruitment Department of the RCMP, Jim discovered that a life of crime
was an instantly gratifying way to make a living. He was rejected on the
basis that his father was a Federal Prison Inmate at the time.
For the next 16 years while maintaining a legitimate “job” in the
electronics field, Jim imported cocaine and heroin into Canada. During
this time he started to abuse alcohol and other drugs which lead to his
drug of choice, heroin. This addiction ravaged and controlled Jim’s life
for the next ten years.
At 1:35 AM on September 6, 1991, Jim finally hit bottom after a failed
attempt at suicide.
This marked the anniversary of Jim’s first day of Recovery – or his
eventual “Birthday”.
After following a program of the 12 Steps and a rediscovery of his
religious roots, Jim has been able to sustain a regimen of total
abstinence.
For the past 14 years Jim has volunteered at recovery centers in the
Lower Mainland and in May, 2005 opened the first of the VisionQuest
Houses in Surrey.
To this day, Jim continues to be a mentor and an inspiration to the men
who are fortunate to be a part of the VisionQuest Program.
