CARE–Dallas’ Post

In 2017, the 33rd Annual CARE Breakfast featured renowned guests Mackenzie Phillips and Brad Lamm, CIP, who shared their personal journeys of addiction and recovery with an audience of nearly 400 attendees. Brad Lamm, the founder of the Breathe Life Healing Center in California, is a well-known speaker and author recognized for his addiction programs on Oprah and Dr. Oz. Mackenzie Phillips, acclaimed for her acting roles in "American Graffiti" and "One Day at a Time," faced her own battles with addiction, enduring decades of struggle and relapse. However, today, she lives a joyful, sober life and works as a drug and alcohol counselor, dedicated to helping others find hope and recovery. During the CARE Breakfast, Brad conducted an insightful interview with Mackenzie, exploring her personal journey of addiction and her path to recovery. Both emphasized the crucial role of community involvement in the recovery process, encouraging attendees to always "look for the yes" – a positive step towards addressing addiction and substance use disorders. The Annual CARE Breakfast supports CARE’s mission to respond to the increasing concerns and challenges associated with alcohol and drug abuse in our community. #recoveryispossible #bradlamm #mackenziephillips #onedayatatime #breathelifehealingcenter #addiction #mentalhealthawareness #caredallas #thankyousponsors
