Voices for Recovery


Bill Orick (03/01/2011)

I'm a recovering Meth addict and alcoholic, I have 5yrs and 3 months clean. I too tried to quit many times on my own with no luck. I had the great opportunity to get arrested for 90 days and begged the great staff in drug court to help me. I found my higher power while in jail. When I got out I dedicated my life to helping others in recovery and in turn I get to stay clean and sober. Life is great and I try to do everything I can to express to the people in our communities that recovery works.

One day at a time.
Thanks,
Bill Orick
