You can learn more about my facilitation training at RecoveryFacilitation.comMy recovery story started in 2005 when I was arrested. At 22 years old, I was looking at spending many years of my life in federal prison due to my addiction to heroin, cocaine, and prescription opioids. Facing serious consequences for my actions, I started to change my daily habits and get serious about my recovery. I eventually invested in a life coach and began surrounding myself with mentors. This inspired me to transform from a life of addiction to one of fulfilling my purpose of becoming an Entrepreneur in Recovery™ and helping others to achieve their highest potential.I recently published my first book, Smash Your Comfort Zone with Cold Showers.​In my book, you'll learn about...​• Why you should give cold showers a try• The research-backed advantages of cold showers• How to overcome unwanted habits• How to increase self-discipline and develop self-confidence• How to conquer anxiety and reduce depression, and…• How you can change your story by shattering self-imposed barriers.​This book is about much more than turning a handle while bathing.
