ALBANY, GA --

The fourth annual "Recovery Celebration" was held Saturday at the Ray Charles pavilion.

The event was open to everyone but was geared toward people recovering from addiction.

Various organizations were in attendance to let recovering addicts know the different services  that are available to them.

Guest speakers we’re also on hand to help inspire and motivate attendees.

"There could be somebody in their active addiction that could sit down and listen to one of the speakers and say you know what, if they can do this, I can do this, so it's really important for events like this to take place", said event organizer Erica Graham.
