Together we rise to the point of freedom. We need one another to get there, and one of the most beautiful things we do in the fellowship is support one another in pursuit of our dreams. Sharing our hopes and our successes is as much of a part of carrying our message as sharing our...

what i like about this program of recovery is its autonomy. its very democratic undertones allow me to express my recovery as i see how i can fit my life into it. i remember a conversation with my sponsor early in my recovery about how i needed to work a particular step. he said there...
