Stopping the substance can save a life, but it does not automatically answer the questions that remain. Who am I now? How do I handle discomfort without escaping it? What does recovery look like when the immediate crisis has passed?
Drawing from his own experience with long-term sobriety, relapse, and a deeper return to recovery, Don explores the difference between simply not using and building a life grounded in honesty, connection, purpose, and presence.
Audiences will explore recovery as more than abstinence or symptom reduction; recognize the role identity, belonging, and purpose can play in sustained recovery; and consider how honesty, connection, and presence support a life in recovery.
