“It’s kind of feels like a celebration because we all miss each other,” said GLRC Recovery Coach, Andrea Kokko. “And all those relationships you build with other people in recovery are so important. There is going to be someone here from GLRC that’s actually going to be giving tours to show the community what we are doing here”.
“It’s nothing but open arms. It’s doesn’t matter what your view is or walk of life, all we ask for is respect for your fellow person,” expressed Sault Tribe Recovery Coach, Joseph Gravelle. “You can come whether you are an addict in need, or a parent of an addict, or a person who is curious about what’s going on with addiction…maybe looking for a little more insight or resources in the community”.
