The Discovering Alcoholic has invited us to be part of a League of Advocacy to help draw attention to issues affecting the recovering community. Are you reading this blog yet? You should be - it's an amazing recovery resource. Even though I'm not in recovery, I read it every day and I always find something insightful.
Anyway, TDA has come up with a wonderful idea:
“I plan to send out a request to my fellow recovery bloggers and interested parties to take part in a link exchange program designed not to promote ourselves, but instead as an advocacy league. All I am asking for is an e-mail, and a promise to consider sending a message to your representatives or posting a blog on topics of great interest or concern to the recovery community. It’s only asking a little, and by working together we can make a difference each in our own little way. I am not asking you to dress up like a recovery superhero (although you may want to try it, these tights are super-cool), but we just might be able accomplish some really super things.”
I’m excited to be a part of this because I would like for this blog to do more than just report our BCI news, but also be a resource for people and a tool for positive change. Since recovery topics are not my area of expertise, I hope some of my co-workers will step in to help us move in that direction. So stay with us, join in the conversation, and help us build this new recovery network.
Brandywine Counseling & Community Services saves lives. We help people recover from addiction and mental illness, and reduce their HIV risk. Each life saved touches other lives, families, and communities in the Delaware region.
