“Writing is like recovery to me. It is a journey of both despair and victory. The process can be hard. When we find ourselves face to face with our lifelong hurts, hang-ups, and baits, the situation can seem bleak. This is the reality of writing, but not the beauty of it. For me, the beauty of writing is what happens when you get what is on the inside …out. It sets me free. Free to share my hurts, my failure, and my pain.”

-Eric Jones, Author & Recovery Coach
