On Monday, I received the Trailblazer Award from the Addiction Professionals of North Carolina (APNC). I’m proud of this award. I’ve been working in this field for a little less than two years. This is affirmation that I’m where I belong and doing the work I’m meant to be doing. I still have a lot of work to do.
This award is given to “someone who recognizes the value of being the place where people who use drugs come to heal. This person creates a welcoming environment, innovates best practices, and encourages those who need help to find a recovery path that works for them. Ken’s work spreads hope and joy through nature, community, and shared experience. As a person in recovery himself, Ken focuses on the power of peer support and the role that peers play in the treatment and recovery process.”
I’m not the first person to do this work. In fact I was inspired by my friend, Kera, who does similar work. And I received wilderness recovery coaching from Adventure Recovery. I’ve received lots of support and encouragement from friends and family…. And even some people who barely know me.
Still, my own recovery allowed me to follow my own wisdom and to listen up my higher power to take the steps to do this work and to adapt when the time was right. I’m putting my own touches on this thing. And I’m still listening. More will be revealed.
Thanks for the continued support.
