"A&E RECOVERY WALK and RALLY 2009"
Well! Here we are again another end of Summer and the beginning of Fall 2009. The return to school, work and snuggle weather. The weekend after Labor Day is typically a stay at home weekend and this year is no exception. I decided to hang with friends who are celebrating "National Recovery Month". The main event of the NYC - NJ area was held Saturday at the Brooklyn Bridge. The event sponsored by The A&E network included a pre dawn social on the Manhattan side, the Recovery Walk across and the rally & concert featuring Smokey Robinson in Cadman Plaza on the Brooklyn Side. A few thousand recovering addicts, friends and service providers turned out in the wind & heavy rain that haunted the day. As a person not in the recovery community I was left with far more questions than answers but had a nice time and saw many familiar faces! There was a special salute to the thousands of LBGT persons on the road to recovery. Events are planned and scheduled during the month across the country!
