E13- Michelle and Marshall

After years of reading, family support, education, and counseling in prison he was able to commit to abstinence from drug and alcohol and worked towards his degree in psychology.

Michelle’s recovery began on November 02, 2008, after being completed defeated by the excessive use of drugs and alcohol. She was homeless, unemployed, criminal activity, and no family.

All her relationships were severed due to her substance use disorder. As a result of her addiction, she was forced to give up a government job, due to arrests and time in jail.

She forfeited a mortgage, gave up custody of her children to her mother, and was living in a tent along the Merrimack River with her husband Joe.

Tune in to hear how Michelle found recovery, a healthy balance of program, family, work, and a life she could not have dreamed of.

Marshall was born in Beverly Mass and lived all around the Northshore MA in his youth. He began using and selling drugs at age 12. This was the beginning of years spiraling in addiction that led him to a 12 1/2 year prison sentence.

After years of reading, family support, education, and counseling in prison he was able to commit to abstinence from drugs and alcohol and worked towards his degree in psychology.

Marshall is an asset in the recovery community and brings his experience to Aware Recovery Care working as a Recovery Coach.

Tune in to hear how Marshall turned his life from the bondage of drugs to Freedom in Recovery.
