Mary Beth
is the author of FROM JUNKIE TO JUDGE
This is an amazing story of her life
as a meth addict at age 16
and living with substance use disorder many years
to recovery at age 32
Mary Beth talks about her trauma and ptsd and anxiety and abuse all being factors in her substance use disorder
She talks about how the 12 steps did not work for her in its entirety
she did not believe in a higher power
or other elements of the program
she was told she would not make it that 12 step was the only way
she refused to accept that
and searched and found other options for her
She incorporated many things to make recovery work for her and has worked for her for the last 29 years
She is a board member for LifeRing Secular Recovery
As well as on the board for She Recovers Foundation
She is a graduate of Berkley Law School
