Ever since I got clean and sober, I have had a passion for the treatment of the addict/alcoholic. I see this as my mission and I approach it as such. I want every addict/alcoholic to have what I have: a wonderful, fulfilling life.

Back in the day, we were receiving a lot of push back at pharmacies filling our prescriptions. I was able to visit these pharmacies and explain how we did what we did. Advocating for our patients, and when snafus arose, advocating for our providers. Gradually the push back went away. It's all about education.
I liaison with the Tennessee and Virginia Boards of Pharmacy and Medicine when appropriate needs arose. Now that all the boards are "on board" with addiction treatment, I have had to do less with that.
I am also consulted on prescribing. Since I have 36 years of recovery myself, I know how the patients think.
