What an amazing evening spent in the Botanical Gardens at the first annual Give Recovery a Voice Gala. The event was centered around the classic tale The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The moral message of the book is happiness equals selflessness, and the secret to happiness is to think less about yourself and more about the other people around you.
We often hear people say that recovery is a selfish program, and that while in early recovery we need to take the time to focus on ourselves. While this is true in the beginning stages of recovery, it soon becomes a “we” program and gives back to others.
A huge part of recovery is humility, which means accepting our faults and our mistakes. It also means being grateful and appreciating others, as well as all the blessings we have in our lives. Gratitude is an action we use to show our thanks and humility is never a selfish thing.
We want to thank everyone who made it out for this magical evening, as well as to everyone who continues to pour their time, resources, and funding into our organization. All funds raised at our Gala will go towards the expansion of our new Family Preservation Program. This program will allow us to continue to serve families and their children.
