For me personally, books have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. They're probably a really big passion of mine. I don't actually cook all the things that I read, but I could sit and read recipes and chef's stories about um, about why they've put that into the book.
Imagine a place where the power of stories brings comfort to those facing the challenges of addiction. In this episode of 'Life with Alcohol and Drugs', Lena McMillan, the Forth Valley Family Support Development Officer, and Beverly, a dedicated volunteer, take us into the heart of the Scottish Families Book Group. Running for over a year, this book group has become a haven for individuals supported by Scottish Families' services.
Lena and Beverly share their passion for reading, discussing the books that have resonated with them and the group members. They dive into why reading is more than just a pastime—it's a therapeutic escape that offers solace and understanding in tough times. The duo also reveals their all-time favorite reads and the profound impact these stories have had on their lives.
Whether you're a book lover or someone seeking a supportive community, this episode highlights how literature can be a lifeline in the journey through addiction. Tune in to learn how you can join the Scottish Families Book Group and find your own comfort in the pages of a good book.
