Additional Information
I understand that my resume may not fit the job qualifications that are typically required for a position of this magnitude. But I assure you what I may lack in knowledge of this field I can make up through my own experiences and the sheer want and determination of wanting to see others in my position succeed. Addiction to me is not something to be taken lightly, my wife and I have fought tooth and nail’s to regain not just our sobriety but also our dignity and respect within the community and within ourselves. I understand now that addiction is something that comes and goes whenever it wants and it doesn’t care or judge how old you are or what your race or gender is. I’m ready to Fight! And not just for me but for everyone who is struggling to no end and feels like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, I wanna be the Light! I wanna be the one person someone can count on or confide in and knows I always have there best interest at heart. I wanna be the support that allows people like me to keep pushing and keep grinding for a better life. Because I promise you a better life is out there just waiting for us to be brave enough to live it.
