Beyond recovery, LIFE!!!

By Mark Kaiser | Founder, Director

Wayne teaches new residents the art of the kitchen

At CL, we encourage our residents in recovery to focus not only on what they have decided to give up (drugs, alcohol, etc.), but also and especially on the new life habits they are building. It is encouraging to look back at the last month and see the good habits and experiences that are forming our friends' new lives! 

 

Here are a few examples;

 

Edecildo celebrated his birthday by sharing his testimony at our breakfast for friends still on the streets and throwing a cookout for CL house members.

Our longtime friend Wayne took on the task of teaching basic cooking skills to new CL residents. 

To build a habit of exercise we started a daily walking group early in the morning, Tuany and Eli leading the way. 

We've started an art corner and have continued to see Edecildo, André, Hélio and Tiago use their creativity therapeutically.

CL enjoyed taking part in our neighborhood church picnic and all day festivities, culminating with a great group conversation in our VW van on the way home about how fun and unique it was to take part in a day like this, sober!

We hosted a big hotdog and Bingo night at CL, receiving lots of friends and family and learning new ways of being hospitable with our space.

 

It's been a great month of courageous new steps in right directions. We celebrate these good times because they help us to remember why we are doing the hard work to change; life can be fun, we are all contributors, and the folks around us enjoy our presence. These fundamental perceptions are golden in the story of our recovery. 

 

Additionally, we have a new website with lots of info about the CL story and adventure! Please take the chance to check it out. And thanks for your ongoing support for the work we do here in Brazil. We appreciate your donations, prayers, encouragement, connecting us with others, and more! Thanks for helping these stories be possible.
