“…the coronavirus means many people in recovery or people being treated for mental health issues are staying home, isolated, their meetings postponed or shifted to phone calls and online video chats.”
John promoted Honesty to CEO six years ago. And whether she’s working on strategy, or providing inspiration and technical assistance to other organizations, she never forgets the heart of her mission.
“I’m blessed, I can’t even put into words how happy I am,” Jesse says. “I love it.”
Today we were joined by McShin’s CEO, Honesty Liller along with Director of Development, Alden Gregory to tell us about the event and their organization. Come out to McShin’s recover fest September 7th to enjoy delicious barbecue and support the foundation.
Mitchell remembers when someone at the jail — who was there working with a drug rehab program — looked at his feet and said, “You look cold.”
And the VRR program launched at both RSW Jail and Prince George County’s Riverside Regional Jail last December takes direct aim at addiction and substance abuse through a peer-to-peer approach to recovery aimed at reducing criminal recidivism related to substance abuse and addiction.
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.

I am very grateful for McShin. When I first arrived, I was pregnant and had nowhere else to go. I was able to get some recovery through my pregnancy. Pregnancy was very difficult for me, but recovery and McShin made it easier. If it wasn't for the community and support I found at McShin, I probably would have returned to a life of active addiction. I am grateful for McShin and recovery every day!

"McShin has helped me by teaching me ways to live life sober. Today my life is full and I'm happy without using drugs or alcohol. I am very thankful & blessed for having a great foundation to be a part of. The McShin staff gave me a chance to change me and my daughter's life. I will remain teachable & continue my journey in recovery with my daughter by my side."

Being a face and voice of recovery has been an important part of my process and helped me accept myself for who I am and where I am in life.
Because I’m not in recovery, I’m constantly questioned about why I work here or why I want to work with people with Substance Use Disorders. This question has started to frustrate me – why wouldn’t I want to work here?
