Speaking of HOPE..‪.‬ Sitka Counseling

For the final episode of our Recovery Month Series, we sat down with Heather Cromwell, as she shared with us how her decision to pursue a life of recovery allowed her to achieve goals she never imagined she could. Since beginning her recovery journey, Heather has not only earned three degrees, but has gained new understandings, repaired relationships, and, most importantly, found herself.    

During this third installment of our Recovery Month Series, we heard from Blake Copeland, who shared us how his recovery journey also led him down a path of self-discovery. By accepting and confronting his addiction, Blake not only created a healthier and happier life for himself, but he discovered a newfound love for himself that he didn't have before. With humor, positivity, and vulnerability, Blake shared with us how his hard work and willing spirit has allowed him to create a story that he is proud of.
