Accomplishments
I have almost 29 years of sobriety. I am very sincere about my recovery and the recovery of others. My life experience before I got sober helped me to become the person I am today. I enjoy helping others on the road to regaining a life that I never thought was possible. Recovery from drugs or alcohol is a life long commitment.
Interests
I worked at home for the family business that included rentals and sales of properties.
Working for my family selling and buying homes was an important aspect of my life. Keeping our family afloat during difficult times; especially when our house was damaged by fire. Dealing with the various bureaucratic entities that required paperwork was essential. We had a condo in Florida, a home in Tehachapi, and two rentals in Northern California. Dealing with property managers and real estate agents was key.
