With the help of Gosnold, the love and strength of my family, and the support of fellow addicts in recovery, I have remained clean. Today, I am the lead clinical case manager at a treatment center, working on a detox unit with addicts just like me. Today, I have purpose. I have passion. Today, I love my life.
