"Since taking part in the film “Turning A Corner”, I have in much amazement been approached by people that I have never seen come up to me and tell me how they enjoyed watching it. I just celebrated 5 years clean and sober. I feel great. I still do some service work and I work for Circle Management. I take care of my mom who just turned 80 years old. I really enjoy helping those who are less fortunate than myself. My relationship with my husband is great. We have excellent communication with each other and spend a lot of quality time together. My family and I have grown closer. They are so proud of the positive changes I have made in my life. I want to thank the staff from Beyondmedia Education for all that they have done to help me stay and be inspired."
