  • The One With Nicole that has over 8 years sober after many years living all over while in addiction
    Nicole and I met when I was walking into rehab for the first time April 2018 and she was a director for the rehab I was staying at. She introduced me to a lot of great people in the program and would take us to meetings that we definitely wouldn’t be able to go to without her. She’s someone I looked up to in sobriety when I first met her and still do to this day. Someone that was always there for her clients and is always trying to help anyone that she can, however she can.

  • The One Where Olivia dedicates her life to helping addicts after spending years in addiction
    Olivia and I had so much fun chatting. We do laugh a lot, but we do go over her story of discovering drugs and alcohol into how recovery looks for her today. She currently volunteers a lot of time in Harm Reduction. We discuss a rally coming up in Harrisburg, PA Oct 27th to legalize syringe service programs in PA. You can find the link to RSVP that you’re going below! She also works full time for the United Way, focusing on what they do in their organization for United in Recovery. Her organization was a huge help for our non profit in getting our electric fixed and they’re always trying to help us out. We are all now working together for an opiate coalition to bring awareness around the epidemic that is Opiates.

  • The One Where Foster was a drug addict from 5 years old until he was 50
    Foster and I sat down and discussed how he started out with drugs at the early age of 5 until he was 50 years old. He’s coming up on one year sober for the first time in his life. He’s had many obstacles in sobriety just like he had while in addiction. I will give trigger warnings now for sexual abuse, child sex assault/abuse, being drugged, satanic rituals. It’s an extremely raw interview so just know he’s had a very rough life, but he’s very open to talking about it to try and help others like himself because he is not alone.
