On this episode of Airing Addiction:

This week we highlight the importance of purpose as a motivator for positive change. Kathleen Wise shares her recovery story and how giving back by supporting others at New England Recovery Center helps her find her purpose.

Finding purpose in life may be a powerful driver for recovery.

• Purpose includes meaningful daily activities.

• Employment can support recovery, give a sense of purpose, and a way to provide for yourself and your family.

• Purpose may include a job, school, volunteering, caregiving, or creative pursuits.

• Spirituality can bring a sense of purpose and meaning that helps foster recovery.

• Helping others can bring a great sense of purpose and contribute to recovery.
