For a number of years, our friend Al has been contributing to the deepening of Progressive Recovery through his personal journey in recovery. He’s become a peer support specialist, and an exceptional voice for advancing recovery in any number of ways. Especially he can speak to the stigma of addiction through his own experience, strength and hope. After all, when we bring things into the light, the shadows of shame and stigma fall away. We are each better for that healing, so too is our world bettered.

“While my gratitude goes to AA, my allegiance is to recovery.” - Al. C.
