Chip McHugh, a Certified Peer Recovery Coach with the Town of Winthrop Health Department, is in long-term recovery himself and shares his personal story of recovery, including how incarceration and Alcoholics Anonymous played a part in the start of his recovery journey. Now, nature and the outdoors offer him spiritual grounding, and that drives his sobriety. Seeing people who are struggling and suffering is a consistent reminder to him of where he has been and how much he does not want to go back there again, while also lending credibility and encouragement to his recovery coaching.
