Announcing the Rebranding of “Living With Loss” to “Healing Hearts Gathering” at WakeUp Carolina

The Ripple Effect of Self-Centered Fears: From the Individual’s Point of View
By understanding the self-centered fears that drive an individual’s substance use and actions, they can take responsibility for their impact on family, and friends. Recovery isn’t just about getting the individual better; it’s about healing the relationships that have been damaged along the way.
Our History, Our Why
WakeUp Carolina is a community-based movement born out of one family’s heartbreaking loss of their son, Creighton, in the summer of 2016. Creighton’s family made a promise and a commitment to share their story in hopes no one would feel alone.
Our Community United
We are a recovery community organization (RCO), an independent, non-profit organization led and governed by representatives of our local recovery community. We organize recovery-focused advocacy activities, carry out recovery-focused community education and outreach programs, and provide peer-based recovery support services.
