John Nimmo, CPRS in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. My work began early in my recovery as a Peer Specialist at Hope Recovery Community, an RCO in Medina, Ohio, where I was empowered to get my CPRS at 1 1/2 years in recovery. I struggled with my addiction for 25 years and finally found a way out by connecting with a fantastic recovery community. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and help with local LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, specifically the Trans community. Beginning my journey with "On the Road of Recovery" has empowered me to share my hope with many walks of life as we travel across Ohio searching for people in recovery from Substance use disorder and mental health issues. Our mission is to end stigma, humanize addiction and inspire hope one story at a time. I have four years in recovery from substance use and mental health challenges. I am so grateful for my life and hope to continue inspiring others to find their healing pathway.
