The article discusses the personal reflections of a co-founder of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre during a milestone event celebrating sobriety. Named after his late son Bruce, who died of a drug overdose, the centre embodies a supportive community for those battling addiction. The event highlights the significance of recovery 'birthdays' as a celebration of sobriety milestones. Participants, regardless of their public speaking skills, share their heartfelt experiences, creating an atmosphere of encouragement and unity.
As I walk through the centre's front doors, I see the glass memorial case that holds Bruce's remains, and I rub the top of it to say hello.
In the world of recovery, your 'birthday' is the date you stopped using, and we're all here tonight to celebrate three guys from the program.
