2025: More Than My Recovery

I was taught early in my recovery that whatever I put BEFORE my recovery, I was sure to lose.

Have become a more caring person to everyone. Not just family and friends, but to all humanity.

Today, I am a single mom of 2 beautiful boys, who will never have to know the person I used to be.

All the things I was afraid to give up to be sober (playing golf, going to concerts and sporting events, cookouts, vacations) I now get to do but I do them with my sober friends.

I am able to utilize my own recovery journey along with the skills and knowledge I gained in schooling to help others find hope and achieve sobriety.

Recovery has granted me freedom. I greet the day with hope knowing that anything is possible today.

I recently traveled to the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. I drove an ATV/UTV and practiced yoga on my pit stops. It’s a blessing to travel and have fun in recovery.

I have found that being of service in recovery is my biggest passion!

Beyond professional achievements, recovery has given me the ability to show up for my family and friends in a meaningful way. I’ve created a life rooted in purpose, integrity, and service.
