Meet Tory, one of WVSL's very own. Tory shares with us her story of changing her life around after discovering WVSL. She tells us, "When I came to WVSL, I was broken and hopeless. All I knew is I needed to do something different cause what I was doing wasn’t working. I had lost everything from relationships with my family to the state stepping in and taking my kids. I didn’t know how to live without using."

Tory shares that the day she walked in WVSL, she was met with open arms. At WVSL, she always had someone there to help her and answer any questions she had without judgement.

"They taught me how to do simple things that I didn’t know how to do without getting high. I had accountability for my actions. Even though there were good days, there were also bad days. On the bad days, there was always someone sitting with me, so I wasn’t alone. Holding me up when I couldn’t hold myself up. They helped me open up and showed me it was okay to be me. I’ve rebuilt those broken relationships, I got hope back, I got full custody of my children back. They showed me what it was like to have meaningful relationships, how to make those meaningful relationships and connections. They showed me how to live a life of recovery."

We're so grateful we could help Tory, and that she has since continued her journey with us as a peer recovery support specialist.
