Brenda Shebanek
Crockett, CA
My addiction began when I was 13 after the death of my beloved mother and brother. I was lost in addiction for 21 years. The barriers to my recovery were unresolved grief, a lack of support (family/financial), and a lack of services. However, Recovery has given me the life that I deserved. Life now is richer in every way. I have healthy and rich family relationships; an interesting and gratifying career, a home, and a passion for helping others find their way out of difficulty.
