“A dream you dream alone is just a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” -John Lennon
Creating meaningful timepieces has been a dream of mine for years. It wouldn’t have come together without having those with me now to make my dream a reality. Here’s a first look into what it’s all about.
Hello, my name is Jason Franciamore and I am a drug addict. Today is another great day, because thus far I have chosen life again over drugs. My journey to start this company started well before I could have ever imagined. I’ve always been a “go getter” or a social butterfly if you will. Here’s the cold hard truth, yes I’m everything everyone has ever described me to be; but so so much more. I have been at the top, most of my life literally in more ways than one.. Anyway my goal for writing this is to preface my company because I’m attempting to build my website in which the domain has just been sitting and paid for I just haven’t done it. Story of my life, all these intentions, wants, needs, and not always results. I’m here to talk about life, not just drug addiction. I’m here to show my transparency, and my compassion for people, all people no matter the different walks of life we may all be on. There truly is only one way, now lets all set our differences aside, clasp hands and walk this path of life together until we get home. I want to have a purpose that doesn’t just matter to me, I actually want to do everything in my power to be a lifeline for any struggling, drowning soul, addict or not. I can assure you all, that I myself will indeed die a drug addict. However, mark my words: “I will not die because I’m a drug addict.” If you can FEEL this, let’s FILL each other. If you FEAL you can’t because drug addicts have nothing in common with you, or if listening to someone who gets really real, and has a felony record is disturbing to you, I challenge you to keep reading and know, its ok If I don’t FILL you, you can still FEAL, and FILL me. That’s what life is all about, sometimes it’s not always about what can this do for me, but rather what can I do for someone else. I do not want to put a lot of focus on all of the wrong I have done (nobody has time for all that) what I need to emphasize is that no matter the mistakes I have made, I made them and take responsibility for them. So as real as the charges I’ve done time for, I want everyone to know my company is genuine, unlike the money I used to make. Ok let me jump into this company preface task. April 22, 2016 my “clean date” didn’t come from within, it came to me with the help of the Texas Criminal Justice Dept. I was not strong enough to do it on my own, believe me I tried. Anyhow I had to face reality and take responsibility for everything I had run from for years. Now my testimony is very powerful and very heart wrenching, so not every detail will be in this preface, but a thorough Cliff note is what I’m attempting. I was locked up, and not for the first time, I had a no bond. For people that don’t understand, all the money in the world couldn’t get me out. I literally ate next to people with murder charges who had a half a million dollar bond, paid fifty thousand and turned lose, yet there was no amount of money the state of Texas thought was appropriate to turn me lose. I was in the deepest most deep you know what, that you could be in. With this whorl wind going on in legalities, my wife decided that my double life, or triple, or whatever multiple you could imagine was just too much. So through the grace of God totally, I was able to go from 22 years being my last offer one day in court down to a little of a year, and was granted time served. So I’m out and life is great right? No, hell no it was the worst it had ever been. I mean I’m clean and not incarcerated so all problems solved. No, no, no….I had no home, no car, no money, no wife, no kids, I had me and all the consequences of my actions. So at 38 years old I had to suck it up and go to mom and dads, thank the Lord for them for sure. Now let me put things into perspective the year before all this I made over $300,000 at my actual real job. So when I say I went from everything to nothing, that’s what I mean. Hero to zero if you will. Typical lost soul thinking money, prestige, and possessions define success. This is not what the meaning of life is to me, not anymore. Now the meaning and purpose of life is to get my family back, and lose no more time. So without further adieu, let me be brief. The last seven and a half plus years I have in fact fought to get back everything active addiction had cost me. The most important things in life: my faith, and my family. I have been the most broke broken soul, and endured pain, violence, and losses, of a magnitude unimaginable. However we do heal, addicts do get clean, and addicts will prevail.
