Life comes full circle as I talk to my first recovery counselor about addiction and the brain, on the day of my three you sober anniversary.   He gives us a run down on alchohol, opiods, stimulants and cocaine.  What addiction to these different substances does to your body  and brain and what it means to heal. 

Thanks Nate!

Dear Listener: 
 Today’s episode is very special to me. I know I say often that they ALL are special. But this one is really special. It is the true culmination of three years of intensive work and study in order to pass on this 40 minutes of my soul to those in early recovery. 
 
 I hope people will listen. I hope you will feel my heart in this. I hope it will help ease your troubled mind if only for a moment or two.  
 
 If you want to, you can do this. 
 
 Love, DeAnn

A conversation with KL Wells 

• Mother
• Influential Speaker
• Business Leader and Founder of www.voicesincourage.com

Through her own personal story of supporting her son through addiction,  KL learned a great deal about herself. She also learned of the inexcusable lack of resources that exist for those supporting loved ones in their addiction. 

So...... she did something about it.
