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
