Summary
I have lived experience with addiction, and I am now in recovery. My clean date is 08/29/2020. That part of my life is something I carry with purpose. It allows me to connect with people in a way that goes beyond training or education. I know what it feels like to struggle, to need support, and to have someone show up without judgment, and that is exactly how I show up for others now.
