Surround yourself with lots of folks who understand
addiction and have found life in recovery is filled with
many rewarding gifts.

Even tho my family was instrumental in placing me
into the hands of those capable of teaching me about
addiction and recovery, they didnt have addiction problems
and thus didnt understand me inside and out. It became
my responsibility to take what I learned in a 28 day rehab
and 6 week aftercare program and do whatever I needed
to do to achieve a sober life for myself.

I learned where the support and understand was and
for one hour each day, sitting in many AA meetings, for
me, worked. I found a room filled with folks that were
strangers, yet we all had one common interest and a
solution that bonded each of us.

I didnt have to say a word, yet I knew I fit in and others
went thru many of the same experiences, strengths
and hopes as me to help me learn how to remain sober,
healthy, happy and honest on a continuous bases for
the past 29 yrs.

Grab a hold of as many recovery lifelines like SR
and with willingness and keeping an openmind,
dont let go so that you never have to be alone
in learning how to build a strong solid recovery
foundation to live your life upon for yrs to come.

Welcome and keep coming back..!!!!
