Vance: Redemption Is ‘What Makes Christianity So Special,’ My Mom Who I Thought Would Never Meet My Baby Is Now 11 Years Clean and Sober

VANCE: “Absolutely. I’ve gone to a number of those meetings with my mom and they are amazing but they are also spiritual. There is a lot of talk about god and Jesus at these meetings. Even though they welcome everybody, there is a spiritual underpinning that I think makes it work. It’s an amazing thing, just about the redemptive story that god sometimes puts us on because I’m sitting here right now, the vice president of the United States, which sounds crazy even when I say it and I have a 9-year-old son and I remember when my wife was pregnant with that baby boy and I thought, my mom will never get to meet this child. She had been clean but I had seen her fall off the wagon herself and I thought she probably will never meet this baby and yet she’s now 11 years clean and socio-. She took one of year of sobriety and turned it into something more. And I think god speaks to us, all of us in our own ways and one of the ways that I learned that he has a plan for everybody is seeing my mom transform her life and transform herself, and now it’s crazy. My mom goes around and talks to addict groups and she talks about how to get back on the horse. You fall off the horse.”
