Author. Speaker.
Certified Peer Support Specialist.
This is a recovery memoir — and it is far more than that. Reka Jones takes the twelve steps off the meeting room wall and puts them in your hands as a living manual for any human being who has ever been driven by a pattern they couldn't stop, a person they couldn't leave, or a version of themselves they kept returning to.
Raw, uncut, Always1Hunnid — this is the truth of what recovery looks like from the inside. The $333,000 rock bottom. The titanium rods. The 37 days. The crystal cross at 3 AM. And the life waiting on the other side of the work.

Reka Jones is a Certified Peer Support Specialist, author, and speaker based in Atlanta, Georgia. She works every day on the frontlines of recovery — walking into rooms as living proof that it is possible.
She was the gifted little girl who wrote her first book at eight years old and stood at the school microphone with natural authority. She was also the woman who crashed her Nissan Xterra into two utility poles on September 1, 2016 and woke up twelve days later in Grady Memorial Hospital with titanium rods in her leg and a $333,000 bill covered almost entirely by grace.
She returned to treatment facilities, speaking to women in the middle of their own recovery. She went back to school to pursue her psychology degree — and eventually her doctorate. She keeps showing up, every room, every day.
She is the daughter of Larry and Sharon Jones of Cartersville, Georgia — who met at the eighth grade prom and loved each other fifty years minus six months. Mother of Quenton. Grandmother of Za'Hara and Kaycen.
Always1Hunnid. — Reka JonesReka brings her story to conferences, treatment programs, universities, churches, and corporate wellness events. Her presentations are not performances. They are testimony — raw, real, and crafted to reach the person in the room who needs it most.
How the twelve steps teach universal human skills — honesty, accountability, letting go — for anyone trapped in a pattern they can't break.
How to reclaim your identity and purpose after rock bottom. On staying on assignment even when everything has fallen apart.
For healthcare, social services, and behavioral health audiences: the power of lived experience as a tool for healing communities.
On the physical reality of addiction and trauma — and the specific, achievable work of healing that begins when the performance stops.
Breaking the silence. Naming the patterns that get passed down. And choosing, with full knowledge of the cost, to be the one who breaks the cycle.
For women's conferences and events: the specific exhaustion of performing strength you don't have — and what it looks like to actually put it down.
Available for keynotes, panels, workshops, treatment program visits, faith communities, and corporate wellness events. All inquiries considered.

She walked into our program and the room went quiet — not out of respect for a speaker, but out of recognition. Every woman in that room knew she was telling the truth.
Reka has a gift for reaching the person who has decided nobody can reach them. She did it in our session and I have watched her do it every time since.
This book is not a recovery book. It is a human book. It is the most honest thing I have read about what it actually costs to change — and what waits on the other side.
