Facts. I know it sounds crazy, but if we want to truly keep people alive and defer money into prevention and treatment where it belongs (after all, substance misuse is a public health issue), we need to legalize and regulate.

Still shouting this from the rooftops, the back of the room, the front of the room and everywhere in between.
Substance use disorders are also the only disorders where we require the outcome before the work has been done to achieve it. All while we blame the client for failing treatment.

I remember when every one of these things happened for me and they were a BIG deal! For f***s sake, I didn't even get my license for the first time until I was 26.
Self esteem comes from esteemable acts. And so does mastery, self confidence, and pride in who you are.
Keep doing the little (BIG) things and watch how your life becomes everything you never knew it could be. You are worth it, my friends and I'm so proud of you!

17 YEARS FREE FROM ADDICTION!!!! 04-22-07
I've been waiting for this one since the day I got sober.
I was in active addiction for 17 years. Now I've been free for 17. What a fu***ng miracle!
Today is the day I break even with the number of years I was on a path of destruction with the number of years I have been a contributing and meaningful member of society. 17 years that I have been giving back more than I have taken and that I have been giving my all to be the best me I can be.
I had no idea when it started that it would end up here, and I would be lying if I said I am anything less than mind blown.
I'm so proud of who I am today, what I stand for and what I've done with my life and in this world. I had no idea ALL THIS was possible.
BUT IT IS! And it's not just possible, it's probable. The VAST majority of us recover. We are not the exception, we are the rule. And I'm so grateful God let it be me.
If you are struggling, just know, so did I. And so did so many others, but we made it. And you can too. You have no idea the greatness waiting for you on the other side. I fu***ng love this life even when it's hard and I am so grateful for all the people who went before me. Who loved me and showed me a new way of life. Who taught me how to be the woman I am today. I love you all and I'm grateful to say, today I am 17!!! Holy s**t!

Today, the Supreme Court takes my case into conference to decide if they will hear it. Please send good vibes to me and scotus. I I'm so lucky and feel incredibly grateful to have such an incredible team behind me, and I'm very proud of the briefs they have written.
This whole thing is such a trip, yet I feel like it's exactly where I'm supposed to be, doing exactly what I've been called to do. And when God is for you, who can be against you?
Thank you to all my friends, family and strangers who support me on this quest for justice and equality, and for supporting me on all my crazy quests over the years. We are changing the world every day, one mission at a time! I'll keep you all updated and don't forget, I love you!

I see a lot of my harm reduction friends post things hating on 12 step programs. If 12 step is not your path, cool. But 12 steps save a lot of lives throughout the world every single day. It's probably the most well known and accessible path to recovery, even in very remote places. Although I'm not an active member of 12 steps anymore, the life I have today is because of those programs. I learned to be responsible for myself, accountable for my actions, and how to be of service to my fellows and my higher power without getting my ego involved.12 steps are not perfect, nothing created by man is, but if you are about all pathways, then you better get on board with this one or you are no better than the people who shame harm reduction. ALL RECOVERY IS GOOD RECOVERY!!!

Utah Harm Reduction Coalition now accepts Optum Medicaid! We have immediate openings for intakes for day treatment, IOP, and GOP.
At UHRC, we work with people in ALL stages of addiction/recovery and will treat all who desire treatment, regardless of their relationship with any substance. We also work with folks with medical cannabis cards and medications not accepted at other treatment programs. If you know someone needing substance misuse treatment, call Nick @ 385-275-6162 and he can get them scheduled. 😁
