The People who make us who we are:

 My name is Brie, I am a Certified Peer Recovery Coach and woman in long-term recovery. After years of struggling with substance use, with the support of others, I found freedom from addiction. It's incredibly important to me to help smash the stigma around substance use and mental health by sharing my sobriety journey with vulnerability. The core of my recovery is helping others and I believe recovery is possible for anyone.  

 As someone who has battled and overcome substance use and mental health disorders, Rachel is living proof that sustainable, long term recovery is possible. Life comes with many changes and challenges but we don’t have to face those alone. Rachel has found that a key component to successful addiction recovery is connection and understanding. Being connected and understood by others helps us form meaningful relationships, increases fulfillment, and reminds us that we are not alone. 

 Craig is a certified peer recovery coach who is able to over support in a host of ways. Craig has overcome his legal issues and works an active program of recovery. He is a great advocate to have in your corner.

Bre has been clean and sober since November of 2021 and has since dedicated her life to sharing her experience, strength, and hope with the Recovery Community.

 My name is Luke I have struggled with addiction since the age of 12. I have felt there was always something missing on the inside. I am a returning citizen, on my last tour of the penal system I decided I wanted to change I had to dig deep and make peace with myself and I found the thing I was missing was love for myself. I'm at a point now where I find value in helping others find love for themselves which is so vital for their recovery.  

 Christine has been in long-term sustained recovery from alcoholism since February 2018. During that time she obtained two credentials as a peer recovery coach, and an equine assisted coach.

My name is Coreen B and I am a person in long term recovery.  To me, that means being able to hold a steady job.  Being in recovery to me means being able to provide for myself, my children and my family.  Recovery has given me the ability to have an open and honest relationship with my family and friends.  Overall, recovery has given me the ability to add commitment to my goals and dreams equation.  

My purpose is to help those around me recover and recover outloud!  

 I struggled with alcoholism for most of my adult life. Drugs came into play a little later on, but brought a lot of the same consequences. I started truly fighting for recovery in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. In the past few years, I have overcome the obsession to drink and use drugs, and have done some thorough work on my past trauma-to truly heal the reason that I picked up substances in the first place. I now give back as both a recovery coach & a behavioral health tech. 

 As a woman in long term recovery, I found a profound passion to help others find freedom in their lives and freedom in their health by paying the gift of recovery forward. I’m forever grateful for the people who have walked beside me along my personal journey and I’ve learned we truly do this one day at a time, without shame and we are so much better together!  

It wasn't until I had knee surgery at the age of 24 that I became dependent and then addicted. I entered Sober Living in August of 2022 and have been sober since! Sobriety has given my fiancé and me a second chance at a healthy and happy life. For me, the only way I can maintain my sobriety is to give it away and help others on to the path that I have grown to love! I would not be sober without love and support. I am excited to help others the same way I have been helped.
