NJHN March Program Meeting: From Junkie to Judge: Recovery Without God with Mary Beth O'Connor

We are returning to in-person speaker programs this month! Our speaker will be Mary Beth O'Connor, author of From Junkie to Judge: One Woman's Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction (2023).

From a junkie addicted to methamphetamines to a federal judge, Mary Beth O’Connor will share her three-phase journey from rock bottom to resilience as she forged a personal path to recovery from trauma and addiction: the abuse and trauma that drove her to shoot methamphetamine at 17, the personal and professional chaos from her addiction, and how she developed a personalized recovery plan, without a higher power that led to nearly three decades of sobriety thus far.

This will be our first hybrid meeting, offering both an in-person and a Zoom experience. Everyone is welcome to join us for an in-person dinner at 4 pm at Ruby Tuesday, 250 Davidson Ave, Somerset.
