Recovery
Walk
by Sarah Frank
Coutesy Sarah/Behavioral Health
The Warm Springs Recovery Walkers.
shared encouraging words.
Tribal inmates—the 30
Block Boys—shared a song.
“The only way to destroy
the drug is to replace it with
hope,” said an adult in cus-
tody at Recovery Jail Class
the day before the Walk.
Other comments shared:
“Some people are blind to
our addiction, they cannot
relate because they have
never personally experi-
enced addiction.”
They all agreed that
“One night of fun can lead
to addiction, prison, death,
regret, shame and missed
opportunities with children.”
Most of the 50-plus Walk
participants are in active re-
covery from alcohol and/or
drugs, which made the Walk
powerful.
We must create a Healing
Forest and we must forgive the
unforgivable to heal.
