I met Mitchell this year when I moved back to Indiana for a few months. Little did I know I was entering a friendship with someone with such an inspiring story to tell. I've lost many friends to addiction over the years and to be honest I was partly convinced there wasn't much of a chance of escaping it's clutches.

Mitchell tells a story of coming out of grip of addiction and into a new life with purpose. He talks of how digging deep into his past trauma and nurturing himself helped to pull him out of the spell. I believe more stories like this need to have light shed on them. It was a pleasure to have him in the RV studio to tell his story.
