This message might be exactly what someone needs to hear today. What if healing starts with one simple choice: to keep showing up for yourself?

In this uplifting episode of The Hanley Effect, Bruce W. Brackett shares his journey through addiction, trauma, recovery, and radical self-forgiveness. Now an author, speaker, artist, and positivity advocate, Bruce opens up about what it really takes to move forward when life feels heavy.

This conversation is full of hope, honesty, and practical encouragement for anyone navigating recovery, mental health challenges, or the ongoing work of becoming who they were meant to be.

Tune in to hear Bruce’s inspiring message about self-love, resilience, 12-step recovery, and what it means to truly “show up and shimmy.”

Developed in partnership with the National Association for Children of Addiction (NACoA), our multi-day Children's Program is tailored for children aged 7-12 who have a family history of addiction, offering them a safe and nurturing space where they can learn, heal, and build resilience.

This unique, child-centered program recognizes that addiction is a family disease, and children are often caught in the middle. Our goal is to break the cycle of generational addiction.

There is no cost for this program, and it is open to anyone in the community—no other connection to Hanley programming is needed. Our upcoming program will take place on March 20-22 at the Hanley Center campus. Learn more at hanley.info/CCFP.

Adam remembers the moment alcohol first “fixed something” inside him, a feeling he spent years chasing. What started as relief from insecurity and anxiety eventually became a battle with addiction that took over his life.
With the love of his family and an intervention, Adam came to Hanley Center. What he thought would feel like punishment became something entirely different: a second chance at life.
“I wasn't a bad person. I was a sick person trying to get well, not a bad person trying to get good.”
Today, Adam is present for his family and living the life recovery made possible. 💙
Stories like Adam’s remind us that recovery restores not just individuals, but families. If you or a loved one is struggling, help is available, call 877-775-1132.
