E3 - Matty & Michael

from The Empty Chair Hosted by The Empty Chair

Matty & Michael will share their experience, strength, and HOPE and how they overcome the odds and defeated active addiction. Matthew grew up watching his Mother struggle with substance use disorder and mental illness, eventually losing her battle. He too struggled with the disease of addiction for over a decade, which brought him to a point in his life where he felt there was little left to hope for. However, after entering recovery and finding a new way to live, Matthew discovered that one addict helping another truly is without parallel. His journey brought him to find joy in his own life and helping guide others to do the same while keeping his Mother’s spirit alive. Michael is a person in long-term recovery with a 10-year history of recovery advocacy work, along with four years of experience holding various roles in the mental health care industry. Michael is a proud father, avid boxing, and basketball enthusiast. Michael’s philosophy of treating and helping those suffering from SUD is one based on compassion, understanding, unconditional love, and unity. #wedorecover #recoverymonth
