Hi Jim,
Thank you for coming to see us yesterday, from conversations I have had
with my colleagues all thoroughly enjoyed what you had to say and the
way you presented it through both music and chat. Most said they felt
emotional at the end which I believe shows how genuine and powerful the
message you shared was.
My colleague Ben who is in recovery said, it reminded him of the best
meetings he attended and you had inspired him to want to share back.
Julie one of the Nurses said that, she had found it inspirational and it
reminded her of why she does this work. Gemma said the emotion she felt
highlighted that the connection you feel when you attend meetings and
someone’s share helps you realise you are not alone. Terry said he found
it very pertinent and thought provoking especially the Johnny Cash tune.
The clients you spoke to also said the had been inspired by your stories
and it gives them hope going forward that recovery can be long term,
which is something that seems hard to grasp when in early recovery.
These are just a few examples of the positive feedback from your visit
yesterday.
On a personal note, the way you delivered your message with positivity
and humour shows that recovery is something you can enjoy. It is the way
I like to work as I believe that the more attractive that recovery looks
in the nicest sense, the easier it is to sell. Once again thank you for
yesterday and I hope we can do something again.
