Graduating from the Pierce County Drug Court in 2017 is one of the proudest moments of my life. This journey challenged me in every way, but it also gave me the tools, accountability, and support I needed to truly change. I’m proud not just of completing the program, but of the man I’ve become in the process. I am someone who shows up, takes responsibility, and lives with purpose. One of my greatest accomplishments is being able to give back as an alumni coordinator for Pierce County Alliance, supporting others who are walking the same path I once did. We have an abundant alumni program that is creating a culture of family within the drug court graduates and clients. Recovery has given me a second chance, and I’m proud to use my story to help others believe that change is possible.
Mike, along with Jami lead a breakout session on “Planning Events- Having fun in Recovery” at the New Mexico Courts Alumni Summit. The session s was noted to be engaging, and informative. He was also selected to do a keynote speech!
