Language of Recovery
Language matters. The words we use to describe substance use disorder, people using drugs, and people in recovery have the potential to cause a significantly detrimental impact in a number of ways, such as access to treatment and recovery outcomes.

The CCAR Recovery Coach Academy is a 5-day intensive training academy designed to provide individuals with an understanding of both the art and science of Recovery Coaching. Delivered in a retreat-like environment, the CCAR Recovery Coach Academy prepares participants to guide and mentor others in recovery from an addiction to alcohol and/or other drugs. By focusing on the goals of the individuals being served, participants will learn the key fundamentals of this rewarding work, which CCAR has identified as actively listening, asking really good questions, and treating people as their own best resource, all while discovering and managing our own stuff.

EASY DOES IT CAFE!
Easy Does It Cafe is one of our most popular events at RC3. We invite everyone to come out every Monday evening from 6:00-9:30 and showcase your talents! Whether you can sing, dance, play an instrument, write & recite poetry, tell clean jokes or just want to hang out and listen, everyone is welcomed! Bring a camp chair, your dinner, your well-behaved dogs on a leash, sit back and enjoy your evening with us. We meet outside in the parking lot when weather permits. If the weather is questionable, then we meet inside.
What recovery means for me is getting honest about who I am, and taking responsibility for the choices I make, and how they affect everyone around me. Responsibility is learning to live in the moment, not the past or the future, but the here and now, and understanding that it isn't always about me, even if I'm broken. It's easy to run. I know because I did that for a long time. In doing so, I blinded myself to my own reality, and my running nearly destroyed me, and everything I cherished. In my running, I learned how to hustle other people emotionally to get by, but most of all I was hustling myself. It is by the very Grace of God that He had mercy on me to let me live to write this. You can run from the heartaches, the failures, the abuse, the anger, and everything you did and didn't do. You will never run fast enough to outrun yourself. It's about looking in the mirror, learning to "be still", and being honest with your own self about the broken human being looking back, and how you got that way in the first place. We were made in the image of a loving Creator that wants to give us hope and future, and until we get honest with Him, ourselves, and everyone around us, about "the why" we will never be able to fully access the life and the fullness of joy He has in store for us. Neither your failures and nor your tragedies define you.. "they" don't define you.. unless you agree to let them define you. Every day on this earth is a precious gift, and you have to claim personal responsibility for living your best life. You owe it to yourself, the ones that love you, and the One that gave you that gift to live responsibly in each of those moments. I'm Rob Alford, and although my past doesn't define who I am, the choices I make today certainly will. I choose honesty, and I choose life. That's what recovery means to me. ~Rob Alford
