A New Beginning Recovery Card Game by Wellness Reproductions & Publishing | Group and Personal Recovery Skills

Overview

A New Beginning Recovery Card Game offers a tactile, engaging way to explore recovery skills through prompts and conversations. Created by Mildred Duggins Williams, MA, CAC II, the deck is designed to support skill-building, encourage thoughtful dialogue, and connect learning to practiced routines. The language emphasizes possibilities rather than guarantees, inviting participants to discover what might work for them in their journey.

What you get

• A carefully designed card deck to support skill building in recovery oriented contexts
• Flexible use in groups or one on one sessions
• Customizable activities by selecting the cards that fit a group or an individual
• Suitable for ages 12 through adult

How it works

Each card prompts reflection, discussion, and shared learning. Many cards reference aspects of a 12 step framework, helping connect prompts to familiar concepts. Facilitators can adapt a session by drawing the most relevant cards, guiding conversations that feel timely and engaging.

• Use as a facilitation tool in group meetings, workshops, or coaching contexts
• Pair with reflective journaling, quick exercises, or role playing to deepen understanding
• Adjust the pace by selecting fewer or more cards to fit time limits

Real life use scenarios

Picture a weekly session where participants pass around the deck, drawing a card that sparks a guided conversation about personal growth, coping strategies, and accountability. A private coaching moment can center on a single card and a focused discussion tailored to the individual journey.

Why consider this card game

The deck offers a hands on, interactive way to practice skills, stimulate discussion, and integrate learning in a format that can be easily customized. It serves as a versatile tool for group dynamics or solitary study, without promising results.
