Brittany's on a recovery journey, learning to love herself the way she deserves.
Brittany's on a recovery journey, learning to love herself the way she deserves. When she was younger, she had a hard time fitting in and often felt alone, which carried over into her experience with substance use disorder (SUD). Now, she’s using every resource she has while on her recovery path—like working with a life coach, going to therapy focused on substance use, and talking with a Christian counselor to connect with her faith.
Because of all her hard work, Brittany now wants to reach out to others and share what she’s learned. "I want people to see that there's hope and they don’t have to give up on themselves," she says. She believes talking with others can build understanding, and that listening without judgment is key to building the connections we need to fight stigma together.
