This entry is hot off the presses.
This is one of the 5 Rules of Recovery that we focus on when helping one another on this journey. It is important to CREATE a NEW life in which it's easier to not use.
People way smarter than me have said it best . . . "Wishing for your old life back is like wishing for a relapse." To that I say, "that will PREACH."
One way to create a new life is for our communities to provide safe, affordable, structured, and supervised sober living environments for those in recovery. We lack that in Grant County. We do a lot well in our community and for those in recovery. But, we fall woefully short in this area.
I want to change that. I can't do it alone. I preach to those I work with to ask for help and so I am going to practice what I preach and do the same. I am praying about this all through the season of lent and I ask you to join in me in that prayer.
After you prayerfully consider this idea during Lent, and after Easter, if you interested in joining with me to start a recovery home or homes here's how you can let me know -
Call or text me 765-667-0150

Just get with me anyway you can and let's stop talking and do something together.
Here's what we will need:

Volunteer hours
Money

More prayer
Donations
Community support
No judgment
A solidly trained staff of certified peer support specialists
A partnership with a treatment team

If you're struggling it's okay help is only a prayer away.
