"Being a Peer Recovery Specialist is deeply meaningful to me because I get to help others find hope the way someone once helped me. When you do work you love, you never work a day in your life—and that’s how this feels. Every connection reminds me why recovery matters and keeps me grounded in my own journey.” - Chantel, Suburban Addiction Treatment Center​
