Quote From A Survivor
“The discussion groups help me to know I am not alone in my recovery. They allow me a space to learn new approaches to recovery and to share some of the things I have learned in my 15 years of active recovery. The groups are a safe, non-judgmental place, moderated by survivors who understand and the other survivors are wonderful people.”
