 We hear from someone who's been through recovery, now on a mission as a recovery coach to help others bring awareness, help remove the stigma associated with substance abuse. Ford Gardner is a recovery coach professional certified by CCAR. That's the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery. He's been in recovery for three years from alcohol use disorder. He's been a Darien resident since 1979, the same year I moved to Greenwich. And we've been lifelong friends, as our parents were too, growing up in Lake Forest, Illinois, out in the Midwest.
