Recovery showed me that I have power over me, that I can break the cycle and do things differently.
Geri began drinking heavily as a teen to escape the self-hate she developed growing up in a home with alcoholism and mental illness. Twelve-step programs like AA and Adult Children of Alcoholics helped Geri learn to love herself and heal from her past. She has spent her adult life helping others impacted by addiction and currently runs Alateen meetings in Kamiah.

Tyler was in and out of treatment six times before he hit the lowest of lows, an experience that pushed him to fully commit to the process. Today, his sobriety allows him to live a fulfilling life as a father, husband, and friend—and to help others in the community as a way to pay forward the support he’s received on his recovery journey.
