Recovery Not Just for Addicts

Chabad at the Beaches’ Jewish recovery program recently brought bestselling author and world renowned speaker Rabbi Shais Taub to Ponte Vedra Beach.

The talk was titled emotional sobriety; the art of remaining reasonably happy, calm and centred while surrounded by other people’s insanity.

Although Rabbi Taub is a recovery expert his talk inspired a vast spectrum of people. People in recovery found Rabbi Taub fascinating as well as people looking to improve their emotional lives.

The room was packed with over 65 medical professionals, community members and newcomers. Continued Education Credits were provided by Wakiva Springs hospital, a sponsor of the evening’s event.

Dr. Mendel Galer, director of Chabad’s recovery work in Ponte Vedra says, “the message of this talk applied to people of all walks of life.”

Galer adds, “those in recovery had prevously never heard of Jewish recovery, when they did they will be utterly amazed.”
