Join Mary and Savannah on this conversation about being yourself and the acceptance that goes along with that.

Savannah Carr is a certified peer counselor at an outpatient facility. She recently celebrated 13 years in recovery, 11/14/11. - "I am a mother of six, a wife to an amazing man that has never raised his voice to me. I am a woman who has worked hard to find who I truly am and utilize my past experiences to inspire and support others on their journey. The small moments make the biggest impacts, the one small act of kindness can make all the difference for one person. I've been incredibly lucky to have had some of the most loving and compassionate people that have shown me the importance of human connections. I have overcome obstacles each day and have experienced more loss than most people and I've done it all in recovery."
