It's interesting. This is a tough group to talk to. As you can imagine, I mean, they're thrown in curveballs, crises all the time. Sometimes it opens up conversations that I really appreciate. Most of the time, there's not going to be a lot of conversation back and forth.

But through this specific program, Enter On Voice, when I shared it in the past, I've learned that they'll pull me aside after the presentation to ask questions. And they'll tell me about someone they may have known, who they've interacted with while they're on their job or even in their families.

And so, like I said, law enforcement is a tough group to talk to about different situations, but I'm just very fortunate to have the opportunity to share my specific story so they can get the other side and see someone who's now in recovery.

Most definitely, yes. My recovery experience has been very empowering for me and for other people learning about my situation with the pickup truck. And it actually wasn't an ordinary pickup truck I took from the airport. It was a military pickup truck. So I was facing felony charges. But fortunately, I was able to get those charges reduced to misdemeanors with time.

Yes, I had a great experience with a jail worker and a few of the nurses in the psych ward of the jail. I remember this social worker, her name was Elaine, and she referred me to a few different programs. And being 20 years old at the time, I really wanted to be more independent. And so she guided me to a personal care home, as well as a program for youth with mental illness and substance abuse.

And in that program, I learned more about my diagnosis, especially through the program WRAP, the Wellness Recovery Action Plan by Mary Ellen Copeland. And ever since then, I've been inspired to be a mentor, to be a peer counselor. And that's what I'm doing today when I'm not writing books, when I'm not taking care of my family and my pets.
