finding yourself in recovery
1:30pm

Making the decision to give recovery a try can feel too big for those of us who feel safer in the "comfortable misery" of addiction over the fear of the unknown. The question becomes are we ready for freedom - to live life on life's terms, free from the bondage of addiction, shame, and/or judgment?

 

This interactive workshop led by HBFF counselors supporting LGBTQIA+ programming will examine common barriers to recovery including but not limited to, body image, love and dating, and toxic masculinity.
