Meet Sandi – An exceptional part of our Beaches staff!

“My name is Sandi Johnson. I am a Behavioral Health Technician and a Driver for Beaches Recovery, and I’ve been with them for a little over 2 years now. There are several reasons I love my job, but first and foremost, it’s the clients. I don’t even feel like they are a part of my job. The clients are more like part of my ever expanding family! Working with them on a daily basis and getting to know each one personally helps me to better know how I can help them reach their goals. MY goal is to make sure they leave Beaches with enough ammunition to fight this disease of addiction and become the success I know they can be. Another part of my job I love is the staff! Each department plays a vital role in the success of our clients. They too are like family to me.

My job is not only rewarding because of our clients, it is a blessing in my life as well. Four years ago I was a mess! I was almost bald, 30 shades of gray (not 60), and I weighed only 92 lbs! If I hadn’t been surrounded by so many loving people to help me get healthy and sober, I most definitely wouldn’t be here to talk about it or help others.

I would like to think I was picked to represent Beaches Recovery because of my dedication to our clients. They mean everything to me. Beaches is not just a job to me. It’s a huge part of my life!

In closing, I need to say that absolutely none of this would be possible for me if it weren’t for God! I don’t make a move these days unless I feel it is God driven!”

Sandi, we’re so thankful you’re a part of our staff and Beaches family!
