The road to sobriety: An LNN feature update
LETHBRIDGE – The difference is remarkable in 23-year-old Sam Mackey’s appearance and demeanour.
There’s a light in her eyes that didn’t seem like it was there before; she appears to have more confidence, makes jokes and looks healthier. She’s working regularly, she’s helping others at the Supervised Consumption Site, and she has goals to work toward.
Sam Mackey has been sober for exactly four months.
I met Sam last November, after ARCHES Executive Director Stacey Bourque, and Managing Director Jill Manning helped put me in touch with her.
