Grand Forks Herald Editorial Board:
"[Recovery Reinvented] was a daylong program focused on removing the negative stigma of addiction, aided by recovery experts from across the nation. More than 650 people attended in-person, and another 3,000 joined via the internet.
It is not easy to publicly discuss one’s personal addictions or evils. It takes a special person to reach out, share stories and urge others to take the same leap they have taken in an effort to retake control of their own lives.
It takes a special person to care that much about others.
Kathyrn Burgum, Jonathan Holth and others who make that brave stand deserve credit, since somewhere, somebody is going to hear their story and know that they’re not alone in their struggle.
And then, possibly, they will start their own path to recovery."
