Summary
I’m an active member in the recovery community. I got clean and sober in 1994. I also maintain stability with my mental health via my health care providers. I’m familiar with many 12 step groups. I’d be happy to elaborate on that if needed.
I’ve taken many people through the 12 Steps of AA in one day as outlined in the Big Book.
I’ve worked in a Treatment Facility for the past two years. I’m experienced in residential treatment as well as a companion role.
I’ve devoted my life to recovery. It means very much to me.
