Hope Zone: November 13th, 5 p.m. ET

Meets each Thursday at 5 p.m. Eastern Time.  Join via Zoom
We discuss our heartaches and our hopes, and how our spiritual lives really do matter in our recovery! This recovery and faith fellowship welcomes those whose lives have been affected by any addiction in any way, and those who are ‘recovery allies’ – who just want to do their part in finding a solution to this deadly scourge. After all…it takes a village!
