Meet Alison, one of the inspiring women Nexus is spotlighting during our campaign.
"I finally got sober in October 2000 after experiencing legal trouble. My dad got me an attorney who said I needed treatment, but I kept insisting that the lawyer had no idea what he was talking about and this was all a huge misunderstanding. My family believed me because they wanted to believe me. Fortunately for me, my probation officer clearly saw what was happening and the judge ordered me into treatment. That experience and the people I met changed my life," Alison said.
"I got sober and have been working in the field of recovery for more than 25 years. It’s the best feeling in the world to watch the darkness leave someone’s eyes. They release the weight of what they’ve been carrying. I get to watch families get well together."
