Recognizing Service – Shout Outs 

2020 was a tough year! There is no question about that. Throughout it we saw countless examples of people coming together to surmount obstacles and help one another through hard times. At One Step, we are continually impressed by the outstanding work and acts of service done by the individuals and organizations in the recovery community. In 2021, we will be doing something new with our Newsletter. We will be recognizing acts of service and impactful work done by those in the community. I hope you are excited because we certainly are! 

We will be on the lookout for individuals and organizations to highlight in the 2021 issues of the One Step Newsletter. If you know someone who deserves a virtual round of applause for some great work, reach out to oliver@onestepsoftware.com and tell us about the great stuff they have done!

Keep up the good work!

 

Recognizing Service – June Shout Out

The most rewarding part of my role at One Step is working with those who are helping individuals in recovery. As a person in recovery, it is an overwhelming privilege to speak with people like myself on a daily basis.


    

John Carlson – Executive Director, Transformation to Recovery (Philadelphia, PA)

I have had the privilege of getting to know and learning from John Carlson during my time at One Step. John is the Executive Director at Transformations to Recovery, a faith-based addiction recovery non-profit in South Philadelphia. John will gladly tell you that “The Affliction of his Addiction”, was the best thing that has ever happened in his life. Birthed out of the affliction of addiction and armed with lived experience, Transformation to Recovery became a 501C3 non-profit faith-based recovery community center with a recovery residence for men called the Hope House. The organization is a ministry of Christ Church South Philadelphia and serves over 100 people, men and women, experiencing the sufferings of addiction every week. 

I am continually inspired by John and the work that he does for the sick and suffering. It is an honor to call John a friend and a One Step customer. Thank you for all that you do, John!

In the above webinar, they explore the myth of cause-and-effect in our relationship with those we love, how we inadvertently reinforce dynamics that we don’t want to continue, and how attachment wounds and patterns from childhood often provide faulty templates for current relationships.
