Across the country, people in recovery are celebrating their successes and sharing them with others in an effort to educate the public about treatment, how it works, for whom, and why. Because these successes often go unnoticed by the broader population, Metro Atlanta Recovery Connections provides a vehicle for people to share their recovery stories.
I have experienced many “highs” in my recovery, including graduation, my children getting married, purchasing a home, and witnessing the birth of grandchildren. There isn’t much that surprises me, because I have learned that recovery is an ongoing process and, while challenging, is an opportunity waiting to happen.

The tired old adage “Once an addict, always an addict” is simply not true, and I am proof of that. I believe that an addict, any addict, can lose the desire to use and find a new way to live.

It is a joy seeing a Addict that came to our event 1 year ago still actively using and they walk through the door this year Clean and Sober and living a productive life. It makes all that we do, worth its weight in GOLD!
