"Living Now gave me the independence and freedom that I wanted with the accountability that I needed to keep me honest while also forging my own path. Today I'm sober 2 years, employed, financially independent and happier than I've ever been. Living Now is a big reason why!"

"More than anything else, my experience at Living Now taught me how to stop wallowing in the past and being in fear about what's happening down the road. It takes time and I'm still learning but Living Now gave me the environment to build this foundation."
