Writers for Recovery is a series of writing workshops focused on stories of addiction and recovery. Participants write about their personal stories of struggle, perseverance, moments of doubt and inspiration and the slow but steady work of renewal and healing from addiction.

Stan Worthley is a recovering addict and alcoholic. He has lived with PTSD for 30 years and self-medicated for 20 years. He says his recovery was only able to begin after he started writing about his experiences.

This episode is supported by Community Health Centers of the Rutland Region.
