While incarcerated and awaiting trial, I met Hannah Newsome a former staff member for the McShin Foundation who facilitated the Riverside Regional Jail volunteer Substance Use Disorder classes. Hannah began to share with me her experiences. Hannah not only shared her experiences she also brought materials and DVDs showing people who were successful in long-term recovery [...] The material and information she would share helped to explain the purpose of the peer-to-peer concept and alternate pathways to recovery. For the first time I heard the words Hope Dealer. Not knowing fully understanding what these words meant and their true value I suspected that they were giving me my first glimpse of real hope for my situation.

The staff of McShin showed me how to live a life of recovery. Today, I have two beautiful children, a loving girlfriend, a job, money in the bank, and a purpose in my life. Without McShin and the people I met there, I don't know where I would be today.

My life used to be utterly dismal and depressing. I thought I could not live without my substances. I thought I could never be happy. I was very wrong. My life is full now - full of beautiful people that I have amazing relationships with that make my life worth living.
