Addiction Therapist and Life Coach Veronica Valli's Recovery Rocks

Addiction therapist, life coach and fellow author Veronica Valli featured a bit of my story on Recovery Rocks this morning. Veronica is one of those rare individuals in the recovery community that has been there, too, and also has the gift to be able to motivate and guide those looking to save their own lives.

An excerpt...

Tell me about something wonderful that happened to you recently that never would have happened if you had been drinking.At 46, I cut down and decorated a fresh Christmas tree for the first time SOBER. Since childhood, we had a fake tree. Kept that tradition for years. Later, I cut a fresh one annually, but I was damn-near flammable myself. A couple of Christmases wasted incarcerated… a couple more Christmases in recovery with a plastic tree… and then there’s this one. It was so fun, so memorable and so alive. (Well, maybe not for the tree.) I want more Christmases like this and will go to any length to get them.
