WRITE. RECOVER.
WITH JEAN UNGER

​​In this five-week group, you will free-write from recovery-related prompts on a topic

and read your results to the group.  You will walk away with 5 stories about your recovery.

​

The following requirements must be fulfilled before you attend this group: NONE. 

You don’t have to be a writer. You don’t have to be a storyteller. You don’t have to be or do anything.

No expectations - Just show up, and get some thoughts down. We will laugh, we will cry,

and most important, we will develop friendships with others in recovery.

​

How it works:

• Theme with prompting questions is provided.

• Free-write 

• We voluntarily read what we came up with out loud to the group.

• Supportive, loving feedback and comments are encouraged.

 

Benefits Realized:

• Bonding with others on a personal, intimate level.

• Finding similarities where before we may have seen differences.

• Feeling genuine compassion and empathy for others.

• Developing interest in other people stories and lives.

• Tapping into memories. Using different parts of our brains.

• Increased self-esteem at the realization that others find us interesting.

• Finding purpose and something to look forward to.

• Finding a voice and a new interest/hobby.

• Doing something just for you. Taking care of yourself.

• Addressing so many of the self-care tools that we are assigned in recovery.

• Providing service to others. Yes, people want to hear your stories. It’s a gift.
