Recovery Week’s Opening Night will feature remarks from the Honorable Martin J. Walsh as well as Theo Fluery.
THEO FLEURY
Theo Fleury may be best known as a small but fearless hockey player, who won a Stanley Cup, an Olympic gold medal, and scored over 1,000 points in the NHL. But off the rink, his life once carried the markings of a troubled childhood, abuse and coping with emotional pain through addictive and self-destructive behaviors.
Today, Theo defines himself as a victor over trauma and addiction, and a facilitator to those still trying to find their way. His best-selling books, Playing with Fire and Conversations with a Rattlesnake, encourage open sharing and provide practical tools that people seeking help can personally use. These tools are also useful to those who want to lead a productive conversation, called “Real Conversations”, with anybody else experiencing trauma.
