Voices for Recovery


Tammie Hurt (09/26/2011)

A counselor brought the message of recovery to me in June of 1989. I have been blessed with twenty two years of continued sobriety and have witnessed many miracles along the way. I am proof that family treatment works. My recovery is a result of my husband seeking treatment.

I have been an addiction counselor since 1996. Thank you God for allowing me to live and enjoy my life.
