His book Beyond Broken: How I Overcame Addiction and Pieced My Life Back TogetherChecking himself into rehabOvercoming severe alcohol addictionDrinking 50 cans of beer in a single dayThe challenges of rebuilding his life after rehabStarting his own construction businessSharing his story to help others rise up
Jeffrey Geurink is a man who has literally written the book on turning a life that felt shattered beyond repair into something purposeful and powerful.
He is the author of the gripping new memoir Beyond Broken: How I Overcame Addiction and Pieced My Life Back Together, where he pulls no punches about the dark days: waking up to 26 empty beer cans scattered across his floor, crippling anxiety after yet another bender, reaching out in desperation to the ex-wife he once blamed for everything, and finally making the courageous choice to check himself into rehab—handing over the keys to his life and finding hope through faith and recovery.
But Jeffrey's story doesn't end with healing. He's taken that hard-won transformation and channeled it into action. As the owner and founder of Rise Up Construction LLC, he's building more than just structures—he's building a legacy of purpose, helping others rise up from their own broken places.
