Hi, my name is Brandy, and I have been in recovery for 10 years. Recovery for me means a life that I could only dream of when I was in addictive addiction. Today I am blessed enough to be a mom to four wonderful children and have a marriage that is supportive with a place to call home. I found myself at my lowest point when I thought I was hiding my addiction but was, in truth, a mess. My life in addiction was full of loneliness and a lack of ability to function. My wake-up call was when my first child was witness to my drunken self, and I swore to never have my children live the life I grew up with. Today I can give back by becoming a Peer Recovery Coach for Serenity Recovery connection and sharing my journey of recovery.
