About Chris

Chris is currently in addiction recovery for alcohol and substance abuse. He has spent 30 years in alcohol & marijuana addiction, 25 years in opiate addiction, and 2 years in meth addiction. He completed 6 days of inpatient detox, 45 days of inpatient treatment, 4 weeks of day treatment, and 8 weeks of Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) treatment. He continues his recovery by attending the alumni aftercare program and by working at the rehab he once lived in.

About Amy

Addiction isn’t something new to Amy. She has lost friends and family members to addiction and the consequences of addict’s choices. She is so happy that Chris has embraced sobriety. Chris’s addiction was a surprise to her, but instead of walking away or enabling him, she moved forward with tough love. She is a champion to those who want to truly become sober. She hopes that friends, family, and loved ones of those caught in addiction can find support and help.
