Challenging Addiction Home
Welcome to Challenging Addiction!
I am Anna Deeds, MSEd, NCC, LPC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a grateful recovering addict. I was addicted to heroin and other opioids for nearly 10 years. I have been in recovery for more than 7 years. Through my personal experience with addiction and my formal education, I believe I have insight into addiction and how to recover from addiction. I created this site to help other addicts find their path to addiction recovery.
