Sergio Guerrero

Certified Peer Support Worker

My name is Sergio Guerrero, and I have lived in Ruidoso for 38 years. I have been married for 18 years and have 3 sons, a 20-year-old, 17-year-old, and a 12-year-old. I have been in recovery for ten years. I struggled with an addiction to alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, and pills for over 25 years. I began using drugs and alcohol to cope with the pain I experienced as a child. I finally hit rock bottom at age 36, I was ready to change and to heal my broken heart and reached out to the lord in my darkest time. Recovery was scary, but I had help and support from many new friends. I became a Certified Peer Support Worker (CPSW), a mentor for the Adult Treatment Courts, and a mentor for the Under Construction Peer Support Team in Lincoln and Otero Counties. I am happy to be a role model for my family, and love helping and serving our communities. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to me or any one of my associates.

Manuel Blackmon

Under Construction Peer Mentor

Hello, my name is Manuel Blackmon, and I am 49 years old. I am a recovering addict, having struggled with methamphetamine addiction for over 16 years. During this period, I experienced repeated incarcerations, including several prison sentences. I felt worthless and devoid of self-esteem. Eventually, I realized the harm I was causing to myself and my loved ones and decided to pursue sobriety. I was fortunate to be accepted into the Lincoln County Adult Treatment Court Program. This initiative provided me with the opportunity to connect with trustworthy individuals who shared similar experiences. Through this program, I learned to communicate openly and was equipped with tools essential for maintaining sobriety. Presently, I serve as a mentor within the program, an Alumni Facilitator and a mentor for The Under Construction Peer Support Team. If you are seeking support or need someone to talk to, please feel free to reach out to me or any of my associates
