Kate's Story
Drug addiction doesn’t discriminate. I was a middle-class kid. I did OK in school. But, no one is safe once it gets ahold of you. I lost my fiancé, custody of my son, and so much of my life to drugs before I got clean. My name is Kate, and this is my Hidden in Plain Sight story.
Mary Kay's Story
The pain of losing a child isn’t something you can explain. It’s not something you will ever “get over.” We thought we knew enough to keep our kids safe. After we lost our son Collin, we realized just how little we knew. My name is Mary Kay, and this is my Hidden in Plain sight story.
Steve's Story
Addiction was all around me growing up. I didn’t have anyone to talk to about the confusion and pain I was feeling. So, I turned to drugs. After getting clean, I dedicated my life to helping others on the path to recovery. My name is Steve. And, this is my Hidden in Plain Sight Story.
