At age 40, life as Larry Freeborg knew it, ended in a single week. Just after Christmas in 1979, he lost his 39 year old wife to leukemia — and days later, his job of 18 years. Suddenly, he was a widowed father of four, with no income and no roadmap forward.

What followed wasn’t a quick recovery, but a decades-long journey of learning how to grieve, how to lead with love, and how to rediscover hope in the face of unimaginable loss. Along the way, he discovered a simple but powerful truth: no matter what life takes away, you are always at a choice.

Today, he is the author of “Always At Choice” and the founder of Stepping Through the Gate, a wise-elder coaching service. Through his writing and coaching, he helps individuals move from significant losses into a place of healing, renewal, and fully engaged life possibilities.

With the publication of Always At Choice, Larry’s mission is simple yet profound: to remind others that while loss changes everything, it never takes away the power to choose, to heal, to grow, and to live again.

Recovery Now is a gathering place for anyone seeking relief from the challenges of life on life's terms. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery.

More will be revealed! This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me."

We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers, which takes a good bit of Warrior!
