MY STORY
I was a black out drinker by the age of eight and selling drugs by the age of thirteen. I have lived through six inpatient hospitalizations and numerous emergency room visits while in manic episodes. Now in my twelfth year of recovery, I have created a short, but effective manual to help with alcoholism, substance use disorder, and mental health concerns. This manual is an effective tool to start you on your road to Recovery.
BACKGROUND
I have attended thousands of 12 step meetings, Celebrate Recovery, NA, Smart Recovery Meetings as well as Dual Diagnosed Meetings.
I began my peer support work in
2016. I have worked for a
24-Crisis Response Center, a
Detox/Crisis Stabilization Unit and The CDC Foundation as a Peer Navigator.
ABOUT RECOVERY
Recovery from alcoholism, drug addiction or mental health concerns, is a deep and personal journey, and no one path fits every individual. True healing can come through a variety of approaches—whether it's through traditional 12-step programs, therapy, holistic practices, MAT-medication assisted therapy, creative outlets or Spirituality. It does not matter how you get to your destination, as long as you get there.
