Name: Paul Bohms

What is your job title? Peer Recovery Coach

Describe the work that you do for the community AND the GCSC program? I am a peer recovery coach for GCSC and I am also a graduate of the program. As an alumni of GCSC, I am in a unique position to help current participants not just succeed in the program but thrive in their recovery. In addition, I am the chairperson for an AA zoom meeting every Monday night at 7pm. I also serve on the leadership board and chair the Celebrate Recovery program for Davison Free Methodist that meets on Tuesday nights from 6-8pm & Indepth step study on Sunday's 4-5pm. Just recently, I was voted onto the board of Partners4Recovery where I help plan community events and help produce the marketing materials that are used to advertise these events. Working with Partners4Recovery also allows me to streamline communication with GCSC to provide financial aid, community service opportunities and recovery events for participants.

How long have you been doing this type of work? I have been working as a peer recovery coach for a year and a half.

How long have you been a GCSC Team Member? Almost a month now

How did you get involved with working with Sobriety Court? I was sentenced to Sobriety Court in Oct/Nov 2021 and graduated in March 2023 with zero violations. While in sobriety court I took the CCAR training to become a recovery coach

What is your favorite part of being a GCSC Team Member? Giving back to the program that literally saved my life!!

What do you love about your job? I love seeing participants go from being just in sobriety court to getting excited about their recovery and being a part of the GCSC family.

What do you find most difficult about your job? The stigma that people in sobriety court feel and that holds them back from being all in with their recovery.

What is your favorite time of year/season? Definitely Fall

What is your favorite food? A nice thick medium rare ribeye steak or Ahi Tuna Steak

What is your favorite sports team? Michigan Wolverines and the Detroit Lions

What is one piece of advice you would give new Sobriety Court participants? To focus on the acceptance part of the Serenity Prayer and go ALL IN with the requirements of sobriety court. Because once you do that, your life has the potential to go from being powerless and unmanageable to a whole new outlook on life where you are organized and focused on recovery and all the positive things that can happen.
