About

Andrew’s battle with substance addiction began at a young age, leading to a series of unsuccessful attempts at achieving lasting recovery. Feeling broken and hopeless, he made the decision to seek treatment in Southern California, determined to find a way out of the grip of addiction. Despite going through various treatment facilities, outpatient programs, and sober living environments, Andrew found himself back where he started.

However, his desire for true and permanent recovery never wavered. Surrounding himself with individuals who had successfully overcome addiction, Andrew discovered the power of community support and became an active member in the 12-step program. Slowly but surely, he started accumulating days, weeks, and months of sobriety. During this time, Andrew actively rebuilt his life, engaging in work, attending 12-step meetings, and exploring new hobbies and activities.

Today, Andrew proudly stands as a testament to the transformative potential of recovery. With over 5 years of sobriety, he has dedicated his life to guiding others and their families onto a path of lasting change. Andrew’s personal experience with addiction, combined with his years of working in the recovery field, has equipped him with a unique understanding and effectiveness in helping individuals overcome substance addiction.

Andrew firmly believes that the cyclical experience of failed recovery can be broken, and he is committed to making a difference one person at a time. His passion lies in providing a solid foundation of community, support, and recovery, giving hope to those who suffer from addiction.
