STICK WITH THE WINNERS! –
May 5, 2026 – For the last 12 years, I have been a nationally certified intervention, professional. I have recently taken a step back to pursue other opportunities due to the emotional affect doing so many Interventions has had on me. I’m still working in the industry just at a different capacity. I am also working on other projects addiction related.
Q. If you are in recovery, what was your drug(s) of choice and when is your sobriety date?
A. I work the Al-Anon program. I say that my recovery date is 11/27/2021. I went to bed in fear every day for over 10 years that I was going to get the call informing me that my husband was dead. I got the call the 11/27/2021. On that night, for the first time in my entire adult life I went to bed without fear and finally was able to start healing from the complex PTSD that was brought as a result.
Q. Do you think addiction is an illness, disease, a choice, or a wicked twist of fate?
A. I think it is a disease. Often triggered by trauma. Childhood trauma that goes unaddressed because parents brushed their children’s issues under the rug. This manifest later in life. Often times proper coping mechanisms have not been taught.
