"The Recovery Waltz -- 1-2-3 Breathe 1-2-3 Breathe"
Get sober. Stay sober. Live sober...Live the Steps -- Do the Dance. It starts with Steps 1-2-3 and flows into the life-long dance of Steps 6-7. Change happens in stages -- a dance -- a process -- where we transfer dependency from things onto a Higher Power. With a Recovery Plan for life, including treatment and intervention, change happens for the addict. We right our relationship with a Higher Power and with self. We begin living the solution as easily as 1-2-3. Join us for this interactive and creative workshop where ritual and bioenergetics will be taught as tools for daily living and related to the personal journey through the 12 Steps.
