“Sue Dinner is one of those rare creatures who tells you with honesty and kindness what is exactly going on. More often than I recall, my own addiction, my past experience and my clouded eyes couldn't navigate my life. Sue lifted a veil, and then things came into focus. Whether it's spiritually centered recovery or feedback on how you ‘roll’, Sue Dinner is a valuable asset as a coach or as part of a support team. She cuts through the fog, and helps you clear your own path.”

Addiction is giving up everything for one thing.
Recovery is giving up one thing for everything.
