“I just think the first thing that comes to my mind is community. You know, that feeling of belonging, that feeling of these are my people. They get what I'm going through. You know, maybe it has to do with generational curses. This is something that you hear in traditional recovery spaces, people talking about breaking these generational curses. But this is not a topic that we shy away from in our meetings. And that is really crucial work that in our community.”
