I feel honored to share this particular recovery story with you. Recovery often isn’t linear and isn’t tied to specific measurements or success or achievement. Sometimes recovery is just an ongoing commitment to positive change. This story highlights someone working through a crisis who is also a close friend of mine, which is referenced during the conversation. During the pandemic I moved to an entirely new town where I didn’t know anyone. I met Antonio while he was doing yard work for some of my neighbors. We became close friends quickly over shared life experiences, and his kindness and compassion made me feel at home in a new place.
