[close] St Gonzaga's is a Catholic boarding school where you are sent if you are a "troubled" teenager. You can be sent here by the state if you are in the foster system, your parents, or your school. The goal of the school is to tame these teenagers and the staff is not held to much of a standard. Abuse by the staff is not uncommon and good staff members are few and far between.

[close] Each month a theme will be set with a suggested book for each age group (adult, young adult, 8-12 years, young children). You do not have to stick to your age group, it's just to provide a little something for everyone. Some months adult themes may be included, there will be a warning given prior if this is the case. If you add a book to the tbr please let a moderator know the key themes, genres and age range that it falls under.

[close] Dear Recovery Readers, I'm an alcoholic (that felt brave). As part of my recovery, I am trying to read as many books as I can about addiction, struggle, triumph and hope. Whether they are empowering, funny, thought-provoking or sad, there are so many inspiring stories that we can draw strength from, using them as the building blocks for our own sobriety. There is so much I want to read and learn, and I want to share that experience with all of you. The plan is to select and read a book every month, then discuss the work during the month’s last week. This means that everyone will have time to read it before we get chatting, but also we don't need to worry about timezones so people can join in wherever they might be. I will post some questions/quotes to get the discussion going - and hopefully it will grow organically from there. Where possible, I will also try and encourage authors to participate, should we get some momentum going. Whatever addiction you are struggling with, or even if you aren't struggling yourself but want to support someone who is, everyone is welcome. Welcome to Recovery Readers! Soberology x
