Dianne’s Path to Becoming a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist
“I think we both could say that on the path to recovery and getting better, you can't do it on your own. It's so hard to do this on your own where, if you've been so dependent on these things, you will lie to yourself. You've got to get past your own head, and I believe that finding someone who's been through it is the best way.”

In this episode of 'Relapse and Recovery', she opens up about her journey to becoming a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS). From her own battles with substance abuse to the pivotal moments that steered her towards recovery, Dianne's narrative is both raw and inspiring.
