Recovery Poetry

I will be the keynote poet at this event centered around the empowerment of people recovering from substance abuse. As someone who is in recovery from benzodiazepines, I am not only grateful to be alive. I am grateful to tell my story and empower those struggling with sobriety. Come one come all!
