We have the same thought processes and stuff, and like the obsession and compulsion- and really, at the end of the day, it's all the same.
Ever wondered how films can play a role in addiction recovery? This episode of 'Recovery Revolution Live' features Ahbra Kaye, who takes us behind the scenes of the REEL Recovery Film Festival. It's not just any film festival; it's a vibrant celebration of creativity, storytelling, and the shared journey of recovery. From contemporary films to classic documentaries and shorts, the festival brings together an eclectic mix of works that shed light on addiction, alcoholism, and the road to sobriety.
Ahbra shares her personal recovery journey and how the festival has become a cornerstone in her life, offering a platform for filmmakers to break the stigma surrounding addiction. She also discusses the pivotal role of writers in recovery and the significance of the Experience Strength and Hope Awards. With the pandemic pushing the festival online, Ahbra reflects on how this shift has opened new doors for accessibility and community engagement.
Tune in to discover how creativity and community support intertwine to foster healing and hope.
