I call them my Council—and I keep them close at my table. Vital to recovery and life. Thanks for the reminder. 🙏

Love this: your “council!” This event was a great reminder for me as well. So glad this resonated with you!

I am feeling very lonely at my table . I’m tired just like you were . Years of fighting , picking myself back up , more doors are closing and I feel like I’m losing .

On a positive note Caroline, Im excited to hear you are speaking at the WFS conference ! What an honour ! Enjoy the conference, a lot goes into it ❤️

Been there, friend. I hope that this article is an encouragement that things can change. Is there an action that you might be able to take regarding how you are feeling at your table today?

Such a beautiful piece, Caroline!

“ Maybe we aren’t alone, we just haven’t been able to see who is there yet. “

Thank you for helping so many see that there is a way through- and a welcoming seat at the table of recovery.

So grateful you connected with this sentiment. It took me too many years to notice who was at my table. Glad I am able to see the support today.

Very timely. Just over the weekend realized that my wife is at my table. I’m grateful for her support, and she shouldn’t have to carry everything so looking to expand my table. Thanks for this image.
