I am a Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor who has been dealing with addiction for over 30 years. As an individual who suffered from addiction myself, I know the devastation alcohol and drugs can cause someone. Fortunately, I also know that true recovery is possible and that a person can overcome the nightmare of addiction.
I am very active in addiction research, treatment support and personal guidance with addiction related issues.
