In this episode, I sit down with B. Reeves to discuss his recovery journey, and ultimately into working in the treatment field.
B. Reeves was born, raised, and got sober in Raleigh and is very active in the local recovery community. A graduate of UNCW with a degree in history, he lived several lifetimes, seeking geographical cures in Charleston, London, and New York before moving back to Raleigh in 2009 and getting sober in 2018. Following pre-sobriety stints as a gossip columnist, working on film sets, and in software sales, B. finally found his calling in the treatment world. Before coming to New Waters, he served as national clinical liaison for Pyramid Healthcare.
In his free time, B. is an avid golfer and loves spending time with his twin niece and nephew, Anna and James. He is very excited for his community to have New Waters as a resource.
B. and I discuss how people battling addiction often manipulate family members into getting what they want and how parents and grandparents often rescue and enable, unaware that they are contributing to the problem.
