What We Really Want: Conversations About Connection
It's been said, "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety...the opposite of addiction is connection." Awaken (awakenrecovery.com) helps men and women whose lives have been wrecked by sexual addiction and sexual betrayal trauma experience the lives they were created to live.

Through conversations about healthy connection, we invite ALL men and women - not just those struggling with sexual brokenness - to discover and start getting what we REALLY want.
