APN alum, Jason, shares his recovery story: how childhood trauma and religious trauma led to addiction. After years of struggle, Jason recognized he had a potentially fatal problem and entered treatment at APN, where he found community among other Orthodox Jewish clients in his process groups. Their stories affirmed his lived experience and helped him invest in his healing. Jason shares how recovery helps him support his community and recalls how he learned to move beyond shame, create space for himself within his faith, and prioritize his recovery.
