Hello, sobriety!

I am 30 years old and have achieved long-term sobriety. My struggle with alcohol and drugs began at a young age; I started drinking when I was 15, and it progressively worsened. During college, I was constantly partying, rarely attending class, and my drinking escalated further. After college, I felt lost and confused, unsure of what to do with my life. This uncertainty fueled my alcoholism, making it impossible to hold a job, and causing me to lose friends and relationships.

In an attempt to escape my problems, I moved to different places, thinking a change of scenery might help. However, the issue was not the location—it was me. Over the years, I went through 5 rehabs, multiple detox programs, and numerous outpatient treatments. It wasn't until my last stint in rehab that something finally clicked.

Now, with 4 years of sobriety, I am in long-term recovery. I am in my second year of a master's of social work program, work full-time as a case manager, and am an intern therapist. I love my life now—I work out daily, have run two half marathons, travel, and have a wonderful dog and a girlfriend I love dearly.

My journey has inspired me to become a recovery coach to help others who have struggled or are struggling with addiction. I am committed to guiding you on your path to recovery, providing the support and tools you need to build a healthier, happier life.
