Testimonials

"After struggling with addiction for 30 years, I found hope through Recovery Coaching Services. That connection was the turning point in my journey. Providing the support, accountability, and understanding I needed to begin healing. Today, I’m still free from heroin use and proud to serve as a Certified Recovery Specialist. I now work in the same field that helped save my life, using my experience to guide and empower others on their own path to recovery "

"I was incarcerated on July 7, 2021—like many times before—due to my addiction. But this time was different. When I came home from that bid, I did something I had never done before: I searched for help. 

That’s how I found Recovery Coaching Services (RCS). I walked in, and immediately, I was connected with a coach. She worked closely with me as I set goals, and for the first time, I started to achieve them. I knew right then that I had found a place that truly cared, a place willing to work with me regardless of my background. That meant the world to me. 

Not long after, I was given information about a training to become a Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS). I had never worked as a coach before, but I knew that my 32 years of lived experience with addiction could be used to help someone else find hope. I completed the training, and today, I work for the very same organization I walked into when I was lost and searching for direction. 

Now, I’m the coach helping those who walk into RCS with big goals but even bigger fears. Many don’t know what success looks like yet, but I do. RCS gave me a foundation, and now I get to help others find theirs. 

RCS means everything to me because it’s where my own recovery began. When a new participant walks in: scared, uncertain, looking for answers just like I was, I embrace them and remind them. We’re in this together. We’ll ride this rollercoaster until the wheels fall off. 

I continue to celebrate my recovery. I thank my Higher Power for His blessings, and I also thank RCS—for believing in me, for guiding me, and for helping me become who I am today."
