I am a person in long term recovery from SUD/AUD.  My journey dragged me through guilt, shame, grief, lawlessness and homelessness.  Since finding recovery I have dedicated myself to the certified peer movement and work diligently to use my experience to inspire hope in others.

I deeply cherish the beautiful life I've found in long term recovery.  I love helping people realize that they too, are worthy of recovery.  I strive to do everything in love, and with a sense of humor.

As a woman in long term recovery my life is so much more than just staying sober. Today I have meaningful relationships. I enjoy my life. I take care of my mental, physical and spiritual health. I learn and grow every day. Recovery is a gift that I am privileged to be able to share with others. I know if my life can change yours can too!

Overwhelmed by guilt, regret, and addiction, my life was a downward spiral, bringing me to the brink of homelessness.  In my darkest hour, I unearthed a flicker of hope, transforming my past into a symbol of resilience. Now, I share my journey as a beacon of recovery, to inspire others who may be battling similar struggles, proving that transformation is indeed possible.

When I was actively using, I was just a shell of a person. I had lost everything countless times. I ripped relationships apart and caused destruction. Through sobriety, I am living life with a purpose and love who I am as a person. Recovery is possible, and I hope to be able to inspire courage and change.

I was riddled with guilt, shame, regret, and other negative feelings that controlled my thoughts and behaviors. Those feelings led me to overdoses, and homelessness. I have found my passion in allowing my mess to become a message to show others that there is another way, and that there is hope.

Once trapped in the clutches of addiction, I felt lost and broken. Today, as a Certified Peer Specialist, I stand as a testament to the strength of recovery, offering hope and showing that change is truly possible.

During my years of addiction, I was a mere shadow of myself, repeatedly losing everything and damaging relationships. Now, in sobriety, I've found purpose and self-love, and I am committed to inspiring others that recovery is not only possible but life-changing.

Lost to addiction, I found hope and recovery through resilience, turning despair into a mission to inspire change. My journey from the shadows to a life of purpose shows the transformative power of second chances.

I overcame a life marked by adversity and addiction, embracing sobriety and a new purpose. Now, I dedicate myself to helping others on their recovery journey, showcasing the strength found in change and the hope that guides us forward.

I overcame addiction and embraced sobriety in 2016. Now, I help others on their recovery journey, showcasing the strength in change and hope. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I celebrate a life filled with passion and purpose.

I battled addiction for over a decade, finally finding freedom in 2012. Today, I live a life filled with purpose and joy, supporting others on their path to recovery. As a proud mother and advocate, I believe in the power of resilience and the beauty of lasting change.

I overcame a life of addiction and adversity to find sobriety and purpose. My journey showed me that healing begins with connection and understanding. Today, I help others discover the hope and strength within themselves, guiding them toward a life filled with renewed purpose and joy.

I battled addiction for years until the birth of my daughter sparked the strength to change. Today, I live a life of purpose and joy as a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist. As a proud mother and advocate, I believe in the power of resilience and the beauty of transformation.

I battled inner turmoil and addiction until a moment of divine intervention led me to a 12-step program at my lowest point. Five years later, my life is filled with purpose, love, and beauty beyond my wildest dreams. As a Peer Recovery Specialist  I'm passionate helping others grow along their path to freedom.

I'm a lifelong entrepreneur, and someone who has been in recovery since an opioid overdose in 2013.  I started Accountable to bring to others what I wish I had access to in early recovery.

My whole life I felt like I was searching for a purpose. It wasn’t until I got sober and began to engage with others that had similar struggles to mine that I realized what I was always meant to do: help others who are struggling with addiction.

I feel peer support is the missing link in many individuals’ recovery journey. Having a peer to guide, mentor and advocate on behalf of clients provides them with the best possible outcomes.
