Gee Matamoros' journey to recovery included some very dark passages. Now he travels a brighter road, and insists on enjoying life as much as possible. Fortunately for us, one of the things he enjoys most is spreading the word about SMART.  

 

In this podcast, Gee talks about:

  • Finding SMART in rehab, where he could explore other pathways to aid in his recovery

  • What he’s doing now to advocate for SMART and the Latinx community
  • Recovery being a community effort - there is support everywhere
