Mental Health and Recovery speaker events as this allows me as a recovering alcoholic to motivate others that recovery is possible through self dicipline, mindset and daily working ethics. I personally have 5.75 million minutes of recovery behind me and that just proves, the journey is long, but oh so worth it.
