my story

Hi! I’m Sam, and upon writing this bio, I have been completely free from all mood altering substances for almost 2 years now.

Everyone has their own story to tell and my story of substance abuse started to become a real problem about 5 years ago.

I had done everything right in life; I checked all the boxes. I met the man of my dreams, bought a house together, had a baby, graduated from university, and gotten married. Everything should have been perfect, but for some reason, life seemed to always disappoint me. I was what I call, perpetually unsatisfied - with myself, with my home, with my jobs, with my marriage - I just couldn’t seem to figure out the formula that equalled happiness and peace.

I chose to numb my feelings of loneliness and lack of self-love with alcohol and drugs until I was completely dependent on them and had lost the desire to live.

I now devote my time to helping others see the other side of the story as I now see mine. There is more to life than trying to avoid unwanted feelings.

My sincere authenticity shines through my personality and I continue to support those around me with genuine care, interest and non-judgement in a safe and trusting client-companion relationship.
