00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Marnie Winfield with her Message of Hope.

6
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 2>My name's Marnie and I'm a grateful person in recovery.

7
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I say that and not because I'm not Marnie and

8
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm an alcoholic, because that's very much so true. I

9
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 2>check all the boxes of that and an addict, but

10
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I choose to say I'm Marnie and I'm a grateful

11
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 2>person in recovery because I'm blessed to be able to

12
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 2>live every single day of my life without the use

13
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>of drugs or alcohol. It's good stuff. Yeah. So, so

14
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>those of you who know me, I wear a lot

15
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>of hats. I kind of always have worn a lot

16
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>of hats, and so I've just not recently it feels

17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>like recently, But I've recently graduated with my master's and

18
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.040
<v Speaker 2>social work. So I am a clinical therapist. Don't be scared,

19
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>thank you. Yeah. And also I was working for Addiction

20
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Treatment Services. I worked for that agency will still actually

21
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>technically do for four and a half years, and I

22
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>was interning as an intern for Mental Wealth at Mental

23
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 2>Wellness Counseling into private practice and also working alongside my

24
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 2>wonderful husband launching to seventeen Recovery, and it required me

25
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 2>to go to a lot of seminars and workshops and

26
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 2>conferences and consortiums because he doesn't know how to say consortiums.

27
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>And at these I noticed that they would ask this

28
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 2>question a lot. It was very popular but very powerful,

29
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>and it was what is your why? And so I'm

30
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>sitting in these trainings and they say, what is your why?

31
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm like, okay, I can think about that.

32
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, because I signed up for it, and like why, Well,

33
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>because I need the credits and I need to learn

34
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 2>the material. Why because I need to pass a class?

35
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Why because I need to graduate? Why? Well, because I

36
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>want to get my degree and vi a clinical therapist.

37
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Why because I want to help people? Well? Why because

38
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>people help me. I'm a person in recovery and I

39
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>want to give back. And that's what's passion. That's my passion.

40
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>That's where I'm at right now. So what is your

41
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>guys' is why, like, why are you here tonight? Right?

42
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Some of you are in treatment? And I say this

43
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>with the almost sincerity I am so freaking proud of you,

44
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>guys and ladies. Oh my god. Like swhere it starts.

45
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 2>So I was a Phoenix lady myself and a lot

46
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 2>of different capacities and throughout my lifetime. But that's I started,

47
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, I started here, and I'll get into that

48
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>in a second. So my story is there different chapters?

49
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, for those of you who've ever done

50
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 2>open talks and you're like thinking about what you're going

51
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>to say, and you're like, oh my god, I don't

52
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>even know how. I don't even think I want to

53
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 2>go back there, Like I don't think I even really

54
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 2>want to sift through the chaos that was my life

55
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>to figure out what to share and what not to share.

56
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>But this is messages of hope, so I'm going to

57
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>try to veer in that direction. I grew up in Saline,

58
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>which is near ann Arbor, downstate, and I had a

59
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>really good, really good childhood. I had a really good upbringing,

60
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>good core values. Alcohol was present in our household. My father,

61
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>who is now sixteen years sober who actually is present

62
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>here today in the back. So, I mean, he's got

63
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>sixteen years he's like, I don't know, one hundred and twelve.

64
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 2>So now I'm just kidding. There was use in our

65
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>home through when I was growing up, and actually my

66
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 2>dad was like my party buddy. We drank together and stuff.

67
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>So later in life, but anyhow, but for the most part,

68
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 2>everything was good, you know, no know, negativity, no physical

69
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 2>abuse or emotional abuse in the household. Like I grew

70
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>I had a really good upbringing. I had a lot

71
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>of culture. I had a lot of travel, I had

72
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 2>a lot of experiences. I was a very privileged child.

73
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 2>I grew up and went to grew up and went

74
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 2>to Michigan State. Is that is that a real thing?

75
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Went to Michigan State for my undergraduate degree. And I

76
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't really know. I never was one of those people

77
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 2>that knew exactly what I wanted to be when I

78
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 2>grew up. And it is not where I'm going with

79
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 2>this that I didn't want to be an alcohol because

80
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to be that either. But I didn't

81
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 2>want to be a doctor. I didn't want to be

82
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 2>a you know, a cop. I didn't want to be

83
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>a firefighter. I didn't want to be a veterinarian. I

84
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to be an accountant. I didn't want to

85
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 2>be a hairdresser. I like all these things. I knew

86
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.319
<v Speaker 2>my limit, I knew my skill set, let's just say that,

87
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>and I knew it. But I knew I was good

88
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>with people. So a lot of that had to do

89
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 2>with showing me into My jobs that I chose were

90
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 2>in the service industry. It's for those of you that

91
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>know the service industry, it's very there's a lot of

92
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 2>substance use in prevalence in the service industry. But I

93
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 2>met Michigan State and I'm doing really well. I got

94
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 2>my head on pretty straight. I'm working at a restaurant

95
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 2>called the Rivi or a cafe, which is not a cafe,

96
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 2>it's a bar. And I got a really good education.

97
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>But junior years when I really started noticing my relationship

98
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 2>with alcohol was not normal, even though at Michigan State

99
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>and partying things were acceptable, right Binge drinking is acceptable,

100
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>hangovers are acceptable, drinking during the day is acceptable, drinking

101
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 2>in the morning is acceptable. Being smelling like booze at

102
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 2>eight o'clock in the morning at your class is acceptable

103
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 2>because you know you're in college and people don't really care.

104
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.399
<v Speaker 2>But it ended up catching up with me and my

105
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>grades started slipping end of junior year into senior year.

106
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>But I graduated with honors. I did great. I did

107
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 2>get my first UI. When I was in college, ran

108
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 2>through a stop sign. Slap on the wrist, No big deal.

109
00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really even think it was a thing. I

110
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 2>just thought I was a college student who got caught.

111
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 2>After I graduated, I wasn't really sure what I wanted

112
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 2>to do. I was in I took a bunch of

113
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>different jobs in sales positions, lived a bunch of different places.

114
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Nothing really set nothing really set in. I kind of

115
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 2>was like a nomad, but was doing okay everywhere I

116
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>went until I wasn't. I don't want to spend too

117
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 2>much time on the negative stuff that happened to me,

118
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 2>or like the chaos and the detriment that was my

119
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>life for a lot of years, because not that it's

120
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 2>not important, it is important. It's important for you to

121
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>explore those things and deal with those things and not

122
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>sweep everything under the rug in terms of what you've

123
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.360
<v Speaker 2>dealt with and what you've had to go through. But

124
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 2>in the time that makes sense, and always with the

125
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 2>idea that you want to keep what you're doing strength

126
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 2>based and forward focused. Those are the two things that

127
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.439
<v Speaker 2>are really important and what I think of now in

128
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 2>terms of recovery. After I graduated Fast Forward, I went

129
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>to a bunch of rehabs. People always ask like, when

130
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 2>is it that you actually when it clicked, Like, when

131
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 2>is it when you actually it stuck? And for me

132
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 2>it was it was for when it was my idea,

133
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>it had to be my idea. The treatment center that

134
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.680
<v Speaker 2>I went to, I went there on my own terms.

135
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't because of the judge. It wasn't because of

136
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 2>my parents. It wasn't because of a boyfriend. It wasn't

137
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.920
<v Speaker 2>because of an employer, it wasn't because of a roommate.

138
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 2>It was because I knew I needed to go or

139
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't going to die that point, I had already

140
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.439
<v Speaker 2>been hospitalized multiple times for detox, had been septic at

141
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 2>one point, and it was just terrible relationships, abuse, physical, emotional,

142
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.560
<v Speaker 2>and it was time for me to turn things around.

143
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:42.680
<v Speaker 2>And I knew if I was going to do that,

144
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't do it by myself. And I needed to

145
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.360
<v Speaker 2>take this seriously. So I went into treatment and went

146
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:51.639
<v Speaker 2>to Bear River, and I went in with full intentions

147
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.680
<v Speaker 2>of just doing the work and doing exactly what our

148
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>friend Kim talked about earlier, keeping things real right, getting

149
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>honest with myself, honest about why I was there, getting

150
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>honest about the things I had been through, getting honest

151
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.560
<v Speaker 2>about who I'd hurt, getting honest about the PEOPLEHOO had

152
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.879
<v Speaker 2>hurt me, doing my four step stuff right, getting it

153
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 2>all out, and really realizing like what do I need

154
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>to do to move forward now? And the advice that

155
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 2>they give you is say you need to change everything.

156
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.680
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly what I did. There were very, very very

157
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>few people except for pretty much my family that I

158
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 2>actually kept contact with after I left that place and

159
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I started over, and I did everything different than what

160
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 2>I had done before. It's one of those things where

161
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 2>I just knew it I needed to readjust my life

162
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.639
<v Speaker 2>and like refocus and have it be real this time.

163
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 2>For me to do that, I got a job at

164
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Addiction Dream and Services, and I was making like eleven

165
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.399
<v Speaker 2>dollars an hour. So here I was like with this

166
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>bachelor's degree, and I'm just like I just need I

167
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 2>need to be around people that know what I am

168
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.360
<v Speaker 2>and know what I'm doing and be okay with it.

169
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.159
<v Speaker 2>And that was where that's where I ended up and

170
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.200
<v Speaker 2>so and I could help other people along the way,

171
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.399
<v Speaker 2>and that's where I got lined up doing my coursework

172
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 2>for my master's degree. And you know, now I'm on

173
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.679
<v Speaker 2>that route right now and it's it's going amazing. The

174
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 2>one thing I do want to talk about, so people

175
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.799
<v Speaker 2>always ask me how I met Corey. We are we

176
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>are an exception to the rule. All right, We're just

177
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna say that. So I, uh, they say not to

178
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.519
<v Speaker 2>get in relationships within the first year and what have you.

179
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 2>This was totally unintentional, mind you. The treatment center that uh,

180
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.159
<v Speaker 2>that I was talked just speaking of, he actually was

181
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 2>working there at the time as a tech. Now this

182
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 2>there was not any sort of weirdness when I was there.

183
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I promise you that I handed God we literally I

184
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 2>was like this, this guy's funny and he's serious about

185
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:46.639
<v Speaker 2>his recovery, and I'm going to listen to what he

186
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker 2>has to say, because that's what I'm supposed to do,

187
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>is listen to what people have to say that you know,

188
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:55.480
<v Speaker 2>are actually legit about their own recovery and so you know,

189
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 2>so I actually tracked him down afterwards on Facebook and

190
00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I was like, where's the meet Where's there a meeting?

191
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, I don't think I can go to

192
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.080
<v Speaker 2>a meeting with you. And I was like, well, you

193
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:05.799
<v Speaker 2>said for to stick with the people who stick with

194
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.320
<v Speaker 2>the winners, and so anyway, from that point on, we

195
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.559
<v Speaker 2>ended up we ended up getting together later down the line,

196
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and I can now call him my husband, and it's

197
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.399
<v Speaker 2>amazing and he's an amazing man. When they say that

198
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 2>the promises come true, that's for real. Maybe not overnight,

199
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, not as fast as you want them to,

200
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.799
<v Speaker 2>but they definitely do. Of all the trauma that I've

201
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:31.879
<v Speaker 2>been through, Like, that's not the stuff that I focus

202
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 2>on today. I focus on what I need to do

203
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 2>for myself to stay sober, and that's making sure that

204
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 2>I am refilling my own recovery tank, as I call it, right,

205
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 2>doing the things that I need to do to make

206
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 2>sure that I have less of a chance of picking

207
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.720
<v Speaker 2>up today. Whether it's meetings, whether it's talking to somebody

208
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:53.279
<v Speaker 2>at the office, Uh, maybe it's to maybe it's touching

209
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 2>bees with my family, you know, maybe it's exercising no

210
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 2>me you know, all these promises and all these miracles

211
