There is Help ~ There is Hope
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction . . .
You have come to the right place
Addiction doesn’t play favorites and it doesn’t play nice. It doesn’t care about social, economic or educational status. You are beginning to see that you or someone you love is having trouble with alcohol, drugs or some other addiction. Nasty consequences are mounting up; despair and pain are occupying more of your emotional life and valuable time. But wait, a glimmer of hope when things are “okay” or get better ... for awhile... and then, all too soon the destruction begins again. New attempts to control or stop the addiction, promises to change, renewed efforts to better cope with personal, business, work and financial issues in the hope of relieving the "need" for the addictive behavior prove unsuccessful ... again. Facing a sad reality, it becomes undeniably clear that everything tried in the past has not worked ... not for long ... not in any meaningful way. As the cycle begins again, despair and pain are joined by frustration and anger. Mounted efforts continue to fail and soon desperation, hopelessness, and even exhaustion join the emotional quagmire.
For now, however, you are in a safe place, a place of help and hope.
