Getting support from a trusted source can really help ease people into their recovery journey.
For Marie, this support came from a nurse she met in treatment. Having tried other recovery paths that hadn't been right for her, meeting this nurse and having her support made it feel possible. "She's very close to me," Marie says. "I still work with her today."
After discovering great support on her own recovery journey, Marie now wants to offer that guidance to other women. Using her passion for addiction education, she wants to spread the word that substance use disorders are treatable. She knows that providing love, support, and care can make a meaningful difference for someone in recovery.
