Kim Suel talks about how AWAC helped get her through her addiction. The Prince George resident is now on the other side and is working as an AWAC outreach worker, coming full circle.
One homeless woman in Prince George was so deep in her addiction she didn’t think she’d ever get out.Suel said she knows she would not have made it if it hadn’t been for the tenacious outreach workers at the Association Advocating for Women and Community who just wouldn’t leave her alone while she was struggling during her darkest days.
“Mark and Kayla and a few other people said there is another way,” Suel said. “I did know there was but I was just too chaotic in my addiction at that time so then one day I just went up to Mark and said ‘I’m done, I am so done’ and Mark said to get into detox so I said Ok. When I tried to get into detox I OD’d on Feb. 6, 2022 and I went to my doctor and told him I was trying to get into detox and he said he’d help and the next morning I was in detox – he fast-tracked me.
AWAC’s Olive’s Branch is a one- to three-year sober living, transitional housing program for individuals who are on their own unique journey of sobriety. At Olive’s Branch Suel said there are so many programs to keep residents actively learning and engaged. “I started working for them and they were training me here, there and everywhere and now I am doing outreach for them,” Suel said about AWAC. “I love it and I am out in the community working with people who need help shopping, getting to their appointments, and it’s just about helping people and I love doing it.”“I can see a future and I’m doing things now that I have never done before,” Suel said.
