"My therapist and I talk all the time about how the support system you have and where you're at (in life) totally dictates how you handle recovery."

Romance Author Thea Claire portrays realistic recovery from addiction in her novels and how resilience shapes character arcs, emotional truths, and heals trauma. We explore the track of her own recovery and the importance of community, pushing through setbacks, and the impact it has on long-term growth.
