The women of Second Stage and Sober Living participated in The Great Gingerbread Decorating Challenge last week. They faced off with their roommates against other rooms and made a village of tiny beautifully decorated houses. The women were judged on their creativity, teamwork, and attitude towards others while sharing supplies and helping out. Room # 2 won the prize! #ThelmaThursdays #50Charlfordmoments #50yearsofCharlford #CharlfordHouse #funinrecovery #recovery #womenempoweringwomen #womendorecover #womeninrecovery #women #sobriety #Vancouver #Christmas

Recently the women of Second Stage made wild bird feeders out of recycled toilet paper rolls and pop bottles. There are many types of bird that seem to live near the gardens at Second Stage and can be seen year round. We wanted to gift them some food to make it a little easier for them this year too. We hope they will enjoy our creations! #CharlfordHouse #funinrecovery #recovery #womenempoweringwomen #womendorecover #womeninrecovery #women #sobriety #Vancouver #winter

The women of Charlford House made Christmas cards for family, friends and seniors, in response to many being isolated this year due to Covid-19. We discussed being the lucky ones, recognizing we are in this together in our little community bubble. Many people out there are not so lucky and are alone this holiday season. A thoughtful card, made with love from the women, will make their way to seniors in care and will hopefully brighten their days! #50yearsofCharlford #CharlfordHouse #funinrecovery #recovery #womenempoweringwomen #womendorecover #womeninrecovery #women #sobriety #Vancouver #Christmas

It's election time in British Columbia. In group the Second Stage women learned about and discussed the different parties and what they stand for. We talked about why voting is important and how many women in other countries fight and die for the very right to vote and have a say in politics at all. Some of the women voted for the first time in their lives. Some women shared about things that meant a lot to them and some women chose not to vote. In the afternoon, Vancity "Eac...h One Teach One" presented a basic budgeting workshop for the women as part of their community lecture series. They teach on various topics like debt smarts, building credit, fraud prevention, savings plans, and other topics. Most women come into recovery with damaged credit, no savings and little money. This is a great time to start learning and implementing tools to rebuild those areas that help them become productive members of society again. #50yearsofCharlford #CharlfordHouse #recovery #funinrecovery #womenempoweringwomen #womendorecover #womeninrecovery #women #sobriety #Burnaby #Vancouver

The women of Second Stage made masks last week using old clothing scraps. For a few women, it was their first time using a sewing machine. Due to COVID-19 recommendations, our women are required to wear face masks when they are out in the community. Knowing how to sew is an important skill to have. For many women, learning this type of life skill has not been a priority due to addiction, homelessness, and other factors. The women decided on a template and style and created their own customized mask, while also learning how to recycle old pieces of clothing into items with a new purpose! #50yearsofCharlford #CharlfordHouse #recovery #funinrecovery #womenempoweringwomen #womendorecover #womeninrecovery #women #sobriety #Burnaby #Vancouver

The women of Second Stage recently enjoyed a day trip to Hazelmere Pumpkin Patch, mini corn maze and petting zoo for Thursday Unity Day. The women frolicked in the open fields, finding their perfect pumpkins to bring home. They fed goats, chickens, and pigs and played in the corn maze. Learning to have fun in recovery is so important for ongoing change. Recovery is so much more than going to meetings, writing step work, and looking inwards. Recovery is also learning to have fun, laugh, play, and create new memories. Thanks for having us, Hazelmere Pumpkin Patch! #50yearsofCharlford #CharlfordHouse #recovery #funinrecovery #womenempoweringwomen #womendorecover #womeninrecovery #women #sobriety #Burnaby #Vancouver

The women of Second Stage were given frames to decorate and they all created their own personal affirmations. They were instructed to place them on areas they would often see and begin practicing self love by repeating the things they had written to themselves daily. When women come to treatment they often have low self worth, strained relationships, and shame. Part of the recovery process is learning to implement healthy thinking, self love, and create ways to boost positive self esteem! #50yearsofCharlford #CharlfordHouse #recovery #funinrecovery #womenempoweringwomen #womendorecover #womeninrecovery #women #sobriety #Burnaby #Vancouver
