With over three decades of personal experience in recovery, Donna stands as a testament to the transformative power of long-term healing, marking 32 years clean and 25 years sober. Her journey is defined not only by overcoming significant personal challenges but also by a commitment to intentional, goal-oriented living. Most recently, she successfully navigated a major life transition, executing a long-held goal of selling her home in North Carolina to relocate cross-country to Arizona. This move represents more than just a change of scenery; it embodies the freedom and capacity to dream big that recovery makes possible. Through her upcoming book chapter, she shares honest, hard-won insights into the road to recovery, aiming to offer hope and a practical roadmap for others seeking to rewrite their own stories and build a life of purpose, resilience, and lasting change.
