Tammy Preston is from Brockville, Ontario, and one of our first supporters. Tammy and I have shared tears, laughs, words of frustration, and words of encouragement over the last months, all of which go both ways, as she shares with me the struggles of being the mother to an adult daughter that is struggling in active addiction. She is also a Grandmother/Mother to the children her daughter, who is unable to currently care for them. She shared with us her story in one of the original "Family Friday" episodes from our old format. #92 & 92.5.
These days Tammy keeps us up to date with her story and her thoughts as the most popular contributor to our Shattered Stigma page of our website. The page is for people dealing with addiction as the primary person, those that love them, persons in recovery, or otherwise involved by profession or through advocacy, to share their unique perspectives.
