Thank you to everyone at The Doctors for helping to share my story. I’m incredibly grateful to the Dr. Orden and my surgeon, Dr. Calvert; and particularly grateful to be living in recovery today.  As I said on the show, if I can do it, anyone can. My life today is wonderful and I’m committed to paying it forward. Renew Magazine is the realization of a long-held dream of mine to help reduce the instances of relapse and empower those in recovery to live fully and joyfully.

Each issue of Renew addresses all areas of lifestyle renewal from finances to health and fitness, workplace issues, relationships, travel, spirituality and the science of addiction. I believe that by covering important issues faced by those battling addiction, we can fight the stigma associated with the disease and convey the positive aspects of recovery.

I speak from experience, as do the contributors and staff at Renew, that the lifestyle of recovery is wonderful, It can be a Herculean pursuit and requires constant vigilance, but it’s also a rewarding process that should be recognized for what it is; a courageous effort of growth.  For more information about Renew, please visit our website at http://www.RenewEveryDay.com.
