With more years in recovery than the age at which she began her sober journey, Marci's story is one of profound change and deep self-reflection.
Marci speaks candidly about the depths of her addiction, including the incredibly difficult experiences of using drugs during her pregnancy and the dark places her addiction took her. Unlike many recovery stories where the turning point is an external event, Marci's moment of realization was deeply internal.
