SUMMARY:Addiction and Uncovery
DESCRIPTION:Addiction and Uncovery  \nThe Center of Addiction & Faith is offering a one hour free webinar on Wednesday\, November 29\, from 12 noon – 1:00 p.m.\, CT. George A. Wood (author\, speaker\, and pastor at Sober Truth Project) will lead a discussion surrounding his brand new book\, The Uncovery Devotional: Rethinking Recovery One Day at a Time\, co-authored by Brit Eaton. \nEveryone is recovering from something. Whether it’s an addiction\, a painful incident from our past\, or a daily challenge just to get by in this world\, something is holding us back from the life God wants for us. Real recovery isn’t a one-time event or a process that fits into twelve steps or a preset length of time. Uncovering how to live free of what holds you back is a lifelong journey and one best traveled with others.
