Anticipated in 10th Annual Walk for Recovery
The Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR ) is hosting Recovery Walks!, their 10th Annual Walk for
Recovery from Alcohol and Other Drug Addiction on Saturday, September 26, 2009
at Bushnell Park in Hartford. The walk
is part of the 20th annual observance of National Alcohol and Drug
Recovery Month, a nationwide celebration of those in recovery from alcohol and
other drug addiction. This year CCAR will also be part of Rally for Recovery
sponsored by Faces and Voices of Recovery and A & E Network, where more than 50 communities across the United States will
demonstrate that millions of Americans in long-term recovery are leading
normal, productive lives. We strive to
mobilize people to support policies that encourage and improve access to
recovery and remove barriers to long-term recovery. CCAR ’s
Recovery Walks! includes live musical entertainment, children’s activities and
stories of recovery beginning at 10:00 am.
Registration is Free!
