I am blessed that I met Bill in a medical specialty group. Bill is always a calm, soothing, sympathetic and caring person whether he is sharing or listening to others share.

I can honestly say I am stronger and mentally healthier having met Bill. Bill is a person I know I can always reach out to for support, direction and guidance on how to get through any situation without reverting back to abusing unhealthy or addictive substances. Bill leads me to solutions and strategies for positive, mindful and sober results. If I’m having a bad day Bill can sense it and at the end of our talks I feel better. If I’m having a good day he makes me feel better and stronger.

Bill sees someone struggling he listens and really hears what they are saying and offers solutions. If you’re in a storm Bill doesn’t just guide you to get through it, he jumps in and fights the storm with you. Bill doesn’t just talk about random solutions he gets you to a solution that offers you what you need based on your personal situation.

I keep a gratitude list and Bill is included on that list. He gives me inspiration, hope, accountability, resources and is always there to help me on my journey to recovery. If I slip and fall down, I know I can reach out to Bill and he will be there with a smile, guidance and support to make me get back up stronger and brighter than before. For that I will always be grateful.
