OASAS Stories of Recovery
Brenda of New York
Posted: May 15, 2009       Individual
Years in recovery: 20       Age: 59       Gender: Female

My journey into this recovery process began in 1988.
It took the death of my father to get me started, I went to Harlem Hospital Detox, soon after completing the detox, I volunteer to go into residential treatment 24 month program named Damon House. At first, I believed it could work for me since my cousin had my two kids, I needed somewhere to find myself. I did. I am still recovering as a counselor in the substance abuse field by giving back hope. I am committed to those who can't find their way back to living life.
