The hope
dealer
For years isolation was the prison and denial was the warden. I told myself I had it handled right up until the morning it was obvious to everyone that I didn't. Getting clean was never about putting one thing down — it was learning to live inside my own skin honestly.
I started Lost & Found because the conversation I needed back then didn't exist: no lectures, no highlight reel, no pretending the hard part is over.
- 01 No preaching — only lived experience
- 02 Recovery, relapse and everything between
- 03 A community that shows up
