August 23, 2019 -Each day presents a new set of challenges during his recovery, Johnson said.  “It’s constantly a struggle. My disease is well and active in my life, especially with my fears. I have fears of failure, I have fears with my speech, I’m a person who stutters,” said Johnson, a Puyallup resident. Those fears drove him to use meth, cocaine, opiates, and eventually heroin.

Johnson called a treatment center the next day. “I put my recovery at the forefront of my life and I plan my life around my recovery,” he said. A stuttering support group helped Brandon overcome his speech problems. The Washington Recovery Alliance helped him advocate in Olympia for more public attention and dollars to address addiction.
