The journey to recovery initially seems hard, but a big part of that is because people tend to think they’re on their own. That doesn’t have to be the case. There is power in community, and fellowship does wonders for recovery. In this episode of Serenity Sit Down, hosted by Father Jim, we sit down with Jake Klisivitch, the Men's Program Coordinator at The Retreat in Wayzata, Minnesota. Jake shares his personal journey to sobriety and details the unique, spiritually-focused approach of The Retreat, which emphasizes the principles of the 12-step program over clinical methods. He discusses the daily structure and supportive community environment that aids guests in their recovery, as well as the vibrant alumni network that extends the program's reach beyond the facility. Tune in to learn more about how The Retreat helps individuals find hope and joy in their sobriety journey.
