About Candi

My name is Candi, and my story is one of breaking cycles, rebuilding a life I once thought was beyond repair, and turning pain into purpose. There was a time when addiction had taken nearly everything from me, including my confidence, my direction, and my belief that I deserved better. Recovery gave me a second chance, and I chose to take it fully, one step at a time.

Today, I am a woman in long-term recovery, a wife, a mother, and someone who is committed to showing up for others and for myself. My children are a big part of why I fought to change my life: my grown children, my 15-year-old son Brayson, and my 15-year-old nephew Brayden, whom I have raised since he was seven. They have seen what healing can look like, and being able to break generational patterns for them is one of my greatest accomplishments.

At the Never Alone Clubhouse, I pour my lived experience into supporting others on their recovery journeys. I come alongside people who feel lost or hopeless and remind them that recovery is possible, that they matter, and that they are not alone. I am grateful to be part of work that restores lives, strengthens families, and helps people take steps toward a healthier future.

I do this work for the person who is not sure they can make it, for the families who need hope, and for the woman I used to be who needed someone to believe in her. My story is still being written, and today it is guided by purpose, hope, and a deep commitment to helping others rise.
