“I just joined the new alumni program, and it’s been very helpful. It’s new, but I love how interactive and supportive it is. We get to connect with others in a meaningful way, and there’s always someone to talk to. I honestly feel like it’s a new chapter in my recovery. I’m excited to see where it goes!”
