Dianne’s Path to Becoming a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist

I think we both could say that on the path to recovery and getting better, you can't do it on your own. It's so hard to do this on your own where, if you've been so dependent on these things, you will lie to yourself. You've got to get past your own head, and I believe that finding someone who's been through it is the best way.
Dianne's story is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of community. In this episode of 'Relapse and Recovery', she opens up about her journey to becoming a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS). From her own battles with substance abuse to the pivotal moments that steered her towards recovery, Dianne's narrative is both raw and inspiring. She shares the hurdles she faced in seeking help and the vital role that support systems played in her recovery.
Dianne also touches on the often-overlooked contributions of probation officers and various treatment programs that can make a world of difference for those struggling with addiction. Her insights emphasize the importance of self-admission when it comes to substance abuse and the transformative power of connecting with someone who has walked a similar path. If you're looking for a story that underscores the significance of support and understanding in the recovery journey, Dianne's experience offers valuable lessons and hope.
