Joe Montalvo
Program Facilitator
I served four years in the U.S. Coast Guard as a machinery technician. Prior to, and during my time in the military I recognized that I was heavily abusing alcohol, and in the subsequent years would become alcohol dependent. After seeking treatment I have built a strong foundation for maintaining my sobriety through my journey of self discovery. I study and regularly participate in many spiritual practices such as Qi Gong. I have also found SMART recovery to be a valuable support group in my recovery. The opportunity to use what has helped me maintain sobriety to help others find their way not only to sobriety, but also rediscovering their self worth, joy, and love for life, has become my deepest passion. To be of service to others is truly my highest calling.
