As someone in active recovery with over 5 years of sobriety, I can now say that I have an amazing life not in spite of addiction but because of it. After 20 years working as a chef in the food industry, COVID made me rethink my career path. When I thought about creating my next career it came to me quickly. I knew that working with other addicts and those in recovery is where my heart lies. Being a drug & alcohol counselor is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done, and I find great joy in it. Working at Acme as part of a client-centered team, I know that I get to help make a difference every day.
