We are back! This episode is our first ever solocast. Just me, describing what has taken place over the last few months & why we took such an extended break. It was tough yet liberating to get honest with you guys about my recent struggles.

Having moved to Asheville from Hampton Roads, Virginia (near Virginia Beach), I have fallen in love with the energy of Western North Carolina as a whole but particularly the Recovery community. After 20 years of heroin use, and everything which that entails, it sometimes feels very surreal to find myself in such a magical place, both literally and figuratively. Having been given this profound gift, my top priorities are sharing my experience, both personally and professionally, with others on journeys of their own. Life has in every sense of the concept become about the journey and not the destination. That is true freedom and what more can I ask for?

Kevin sits down with us to discuss the state of Peer Support in North Carolina and what to expect next from the movement.
