Bonus Episode: Real Recovery Stories: Practical Lessons for Us All
02/08/21 • 61 min
Addiction is not limited to those who are young. Addiction is not limited to drugs, alcohol or gambling. Some eat compulsively, others shop or order online beyond their budget and others cannot stop working or even exercising. We can all benefit from learning more about addiction and compulsive behavior. We cannot and must not brush addiction under the carpet.
We all owe those struggling with addiction or in recovery to build a community of sensitivity, warmth and support. Our community lost a very special young man to this dreaded disease earlier this year. Jonathan W. was bright, artistic, loving, humble and deeply devoted to his family. His amazing parents have chosen to channel their pain into helping the community by sponsoring a critically important new initiative connecting those in recovery with families in our community. Tune in to the program to find out more about the program and how you can get involved.
Featuring:
Moshe A. Yachnes, LCSW (Founder, Onward Living)
Moshe F. (Graduate, Onward Living)
Yudi B. (Graduate, Onward Living)
Onward Living blends together residential addiction treatment with outpatient medical and psychological therapeutic services to create a Unique Hybrid structure.
