Drug Addiction Recovery: The 12 Step Way
provides a built in support system that you can count on the first time you show up. New people or “Newcomers” are considered the most important one in the room. This is a fact of the 12 Step concept. The first day you walk in the door you can become a permanent part of the group with no other qualification other than a “desire to stop drinking or using”!

I am a certified substance abuse counselor, and recovering addict, in California. I have 12 years clean time and have been a counselor most of that. I have served as a treatment program Director. I have worked going into prisons recruiting inmates for aftercare drug treatment programs. My calling is as a counselor because I love the reward of helping others to find a life, as I have after using drugs for nearly 30 years.
