I have faced some very intense challenges in my life due to others’ chemical addictions. I have lived the tragedies of life with people suffering from chemical addictions and witnessed first hand the beauty of recovery. I hope that some of the trauma I have endured may positivly impact another person suffering from an addiction (chemical or not) and/or someone associated with a person spreading the pain of addiction.Ultimately addictions have the same end result – pain. Recovery remains the constant for hope.
