For Tywanna, finding a community was just as important as finding herself in recovery. When she was using substances, she hid her queerness because she was afraid people wouldn’t accept her. Now, she’s able to be her true self and encourages others to do the same.
Finding a community that accepts you and lets you be your whole self is important for many people in recovery. For Tywanna, that community was Voices of Hope, a treatment center in her area. "Finding that... helped me to be secure again," Tywanna says, "and just led me to recovery on my own." Having the right support and being accepted for who you are can make a big difference in recovery. It helps people know they’re not alone—and that they are worthy of love and care.
