MIKHAEL CORSI
Tillman House Program Manager
Mikhael was born in La Rochelle, France, and lived there until moving to Utah at age 6. By age 12, Mikhael was introduced to substances that quickly took hold of his life. As his struggle with addiction deepened, he was sent to live with his father in Texas, where he attended school in Irving and Arlington. Despite moments of potential, Mikhael’s ongoing drug use often led him into trouble and off-track from any plans for the future.
The tragic passing of Mikhael’s mother was a painful blow that haunted him for years. It took nearly two years of continued struggle before he was ready to seek help. Eventually, he found a support group where others could truly understand the anguish he was experiencing. One member told him about Dallas 24 Hour Club and even gave him a ride there. Though overwhelmed at first, Mikhael used humor as a way to connect—helping others feel more comfortable while also beginning to open up himself.
Since getting sober in June 2022, Mikhael has embraced Recovery as a complete transformation of life. He was previously a Chapter Chair for the Oxford community and is now trusted as a father, partner, and supporter of his family. Looking ahead, Mikhael is excited to continue exploring academic and personal growth opportunities while remaining deeply committed to his journey in recovery
