Banishing stigma the goal of Red Deer Recovery Day
Krista Black is now 15 years free of the addiction she struggled with for 13 years, something that began in her early teens.
This Saturday, Black has organized the 10th annual Red Deer Recovery Day, an event and movement she started a decade ago.
The event’s mission has always been and remains to educate, advocate and celebrate recovery for all addictions, says Black.
What that means, she explains, is that advocates know addiction destroys individuals and families, and dampens community, while recovery revitalizes those things.
