SUMMARY:From Junkie to Judge: Recovery Without God
DESCRIPTION:Our guest speaker\, Mary Beth O’Connor\, will describe her long history of injecting methamphetamine. She will describe how she responded when her rehab ordered her to comply with the God-based approach of Alcoholics Anonymous and how she built a secular recovery program. Ms. O’Connor then will provide an overview of substance use disorder and treatment options. This will include six peer support groups and a study comparing the efficacy of several of them. She will explain the benefits of building a personalized recovery program and the obstacles to doing so. Ms. O’Connor will provide recovery resources and take questions. \nIn her memoir\, “From Junkie to Judge: One Woman’s Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction\,” Ms. O’Connor shares her three-phase journey. The abuse and trauma that drove her to shoot methamphetamine at 17\, the chaos from her addiction\, and how she developed a personalized recovery plan\, without a higher power\, that led to twenty-nine years of sobriety thus far. \nMs. O’Connor is a Board Member for She Recovers Foundation and a Director for LifeRing Secular Recovery.  She regularly speaks on behalf of these organizations and about multiple and secular paths to recovery.  She had an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal\, “I Beat Addiction without God\,” and one in Recovery Today\, “How I Attained 28 Years Sobriety by Rejecting my Rehab’s Submit to AA Order.” \nProfessionally\, 6 years into recovery\, Ms. O’Connor attended Berkeley Law. She worked at a large firm\, then litigated class actions for the federal government. In 2014 she was appointed a federal Administrative Law Judge from which position she retired in 2020. \n  \nThis program will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting.  If you would like to be a participant in the meeting\, please email us at info@ehstnc.org and provide your first and last name in your request.

SUMMARY:All AEU Program Featuring The Encampment for Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:Since its founding in 1876\, the Ethical Culture movement has founded or co-founded several organizations. One of them is The Encampment for Citizenship\, a progressive youth leadership program that met for the first time in the summer of 1946. Today\, it has been reinvigorated by alumni determined to offer a new generation an experience similar to one they had as teenagers that changed their lives forever. They became leaders in their chosen fields\, always advocating for participatory democracy for everyone. During this Platform\, we will hear from them and recent Encampers about youth activism and intergenerational social justice. \nIn addition to the EFC\, special guests for this Platform include Washington Ethical Society Senior Leader KC Slack and recording artist DuPree as our musical headliner! KC will begin this event leading us through a “Mourner’s Moment” where attendees will have an opportunity to honor the memory of a loved one by saying their name. DuPree is a musician who has performed across the country and the globe and is well-known for singing songs of resistance. She is also the artist in residence at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. Make sure you don’t miss out by RSVPing today! \nZoom Info\nRegistration for this event is required. After filling out the form\, you will receive the link to the platform. \nRSVP today!
