Book Club Week 4: When You Love Someone in Recovery

Book Club Week 4: Revival, Resources, Purpose, and CommunityWelcome to the final week of our walk through When You Love Someone in Recovery. If you've shown up every week, thank you. Showing up is a part of healing, and consistency matters. This week covers chapters 12 through the conclusion.Four themes from this week's reading:🔹 Recovery can be a spiritual rebuild. 🔹 Change is a process, not a one-time event. 🔹 Purpose changes the shape of recovery.  🔹 We heal in circles. Affected family members need circles too, and not as an afterthought.A little something from my heart: The book was originally going to be called Recovery Is for Everyone, and that's what I named the conclusion. Because recovery isn't just for the person who uses substances. The whole family deserves healing.Your action step: Name one thing you're going to do next. Make it specific and doable. A conversation, a support group, a next step. Don't just take information in. Engage with it.📖 Grab the book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1400253977/📋 Want the Book Club Kit?
