As someone who has family members who are successful in their recovery, and others who were unfortunately lost to the disease of addiction, I believe education on maintaining sobriety is essential. Beyond my personal connection, I now work as a Community Liaison for Sobermanâs Estate, a treatment center for men with substance use disorders, and I continue to learn about addiction and recovery.
