October 14 Addiction/Recovery: Joyful & Practical Solutions to Compulsive Behavior Barbara Bridges TODAY, I’m Alright.
RECOVERY. If you are reading this word, “RECOVERY” it would be unusual if you do 
NOT know anyone who WAS, IS, or you wish WERE, in RECOVERY. What does that word actually mean when connected to trauma? I chose to use the word RECOVERY for my series because my series is a message of hope. Your trauma is not terminal. You are not broken. You can create your own life rafts of hope and resilience with practical strategies. The workshop invites people who have had their life touched by trauma: People recovering from disordered eating, gambling, chemicals, alcohol, or sex addictions and people recovering from death, divorce, cults or abuse.
