About the host
My sobriety date is February 9th, 2013. I am an alcoholic/addict, and I also have ADHD and Bipolar Disorder Type 1. I'm a certified Adult Peer Support Specialist and Mental Health First Aider. After abusing substances for 20+ years, I got clean and sober and have been working with others on recovery since 2014. I am married and have 5 children. Two of my kids have learning disabilities, anxiety and other emotional behavioral challenges.
Motivation for help
I owe my sobriety and mental health to others who have helped me through the years. I love to give back and have been working in the substance abuse and mental health field for more than 10 years now. Helping others helps me.
