    Guest Spotlight: Jacob Mack of NYC

    Growing up in a Jewish community, Jacob Mack was introduced to alcohol at the early age of 8 years old.  Now at the age of 22, he recently celebrated 1 year Sober. He is a music fan in Recovery and had originally heard of The Wharf Rats recovery meetings at Grateful Dead concerts.  Since he is a fan of Electronic Dance Music, Jacob searched for recovery groups in this scene and came across 'Ravers For Recovery'.  He also came across the Insomniac Consciousness Group and that is where we connected with him.    He recently moved to Brooklyn, New York and loves this new sober way of life.

    On this episode we are very grateful to have had the opportunity to  speak with June Deuell aka DJ June.

  6. When Relapse Happens

    When Relapse Happens

    I this video, Eric discusses Recovery and Relapse. Many people think that recovery is simply a matter of not using drugs. They consider a relapse a sign of complete failure, and long periods of abstinence a sign of complete success. Relapse may be the jarring experience that brings about a more rigorous application of the program of Recovery. Dishonesty and self-deceit prevent many from enjoying complete recovery and acceptance within society. Complete and continuous abstinence, however, in close association and identification with others is the best ground for growth.
