Traci is the mother of five wonderful kids. She is a board member for Beneath the Shade Women’s Transitional Living House. Her father struggled with alcohol and drugs. She volunteers at River Haven Women’s Residential Treatment Center and the Tuscarawas County Jail. She leads three SMART Recovery meetings including a women’s only meeting for Beneath the Shade and a meeting at River Haven Women’s Residential. In addition, she leads a meeting at the Tuscarawas County Jail as part of their transformation program, which combines SMART Recovery and learning other skills such as budgeting, exercise and healthy meal planning.

Please note: although SMART refrains from using labels like “addict” and “alcoholic,” we recognize that when others describe their experience they may choose to do so. Thank you for understanding.
