“Even before I joined my first twelve-step fellowship, while I was still trying harm reduction, I attended a meeting at the West Hollywood Recovery Center. Although it took me a while to fully embrace my recovery, that first experience gave my foggy brain a glimpse of what life without drugs and alcohol could be. Since then, the West Hollywood Recovery Center and the Log Cabin have become an important part of my life. In those rooms, I have cried, laughed out loud, been of service, and felt welcomed. I have helped with many events, including the Christmas and New Year’s marathon, and I have watched countless people find connection, support, and hope there. The Log Cabin is more than a place where meetings happen. It is a home for recovery, fellowship, service, and celebration. Supporting its renovations through the METh Gala fundraiser was one way I could give back to a place that has given so much to me and to our entire community.”
