Dustin has opened up to all of his life story and early trauma that has initiated his rabbit hole of substance abuse. He then found himself, picked himself up and his now realizing stuff that he would have never EVER imagined. He is also quite involved in his community to help his next of kin in getting better. He is a great human being that I can't wait for you to hear.  In his own words: "I think the biggest is that no matter what the world throws at us, there is hope. Through everything we go through in our journey of battling our disease, a way out has been blazed by the people before us. I am grateful for that and the life I live today. I have a life and sense of freedom today and face my fears no matter what the world throws at us, and 2020 has thrown a lot at all of us, I think the recovery community has a unique opportunity to give back to the world and help generations heal wounds that we are used to working with. It is important for me to give back to the community that gave so freely to me and be a productive member of society and I am blessed to do that each and every day."

The great thing that Alyssa and I discussed was around the value of being an addicted person and engaging in a counselor certification. There was something particularly great about how she thinks a lot on her own way to give back to society, how to share her recovery and sobriety wisdom to those that still suffer and, especially, how to carefully manage your own rooted values while doing it.  It was a pleasure getting to know Alyssa.

At the age of twenty-three, Michael Brody-Waite was a full-blown drug addict. Every day he drank a fifth of vodka and a twelve pack of beer, he smoked two packs of cigarettes and more weed than any human should, and he did whatever other drugs he could get his hands on. He had been kicked out of college, fired from his job, and evicted from his apartment. He had no money and no home, was throwing up blood, and believed he would be dead before his thirtieth birthday.Then, on September 1, 2002, after running out of options and fearing death, he checked into rehab, entered recovery, and has been transforming himself every day since.

Maxime a trouvé le courage de discuter avec moi de l'origine de ses angoisses.
