Pull up a chair.
This letter is for people in or seeking recovery in all its various forms (addiction, trauma, mental health, you name it), family members, and our supporters.
I'm so glad you're here.
This is a place where we can share and celebrate our stories of recovery and resilience without judgment and without shame. We will learn, together, what it means to be in recovery and helpful resources for our journeys.
Together, let's explore topics like:
Addiction, Mental Health, Trauma, Family Recovery, and More.
If you are feeling stuck in your recovery or life or want to help others, you are in the right place.
If you are a family member impacted by addiction and are looking to understand the recovery journey better, you are in the right place.
If you are a counselor, ministry leader, peer specialist, recovery coach, or advocate, this is your circle. This community is a place to share your insights and resources with others.
Share your story
Recovery is all about community. One of the things I love about this community is being able to highlight YOUR story of recovery and resilience.
Interested in submitting your story? Contact me today. I’m currently looking for submissions to Circle of Chairs.
