5 AM alarms. Sub-zero temps. Endless stairs up a mountainside. Sounds like a reality show, but it’s just another day telling the stories that matter. Grateful (and still thawing out) for the chance to share the journeys of those overcoming substance use disorder in Colorado.

This week we were in Loveland, talking to Lee about his story of tobacco use and triumph. He started smoking to fit in with an “outcast” group in high school; he also talked about how Big Tobacco targets counterculture. He now finds community through drag, horses, and community – not tobacco.
