Finding refuge for those recovering from addiction

One of the hardest things to experience in life is a loved one who is bound to an addiction.

For many of us, like myself, we were addicts who couldn’t help but try and escape the pain we lived in through some type of substance or experience. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t personally know someone who has either been or is an addict. For many addicts, the despair that addiction brings to their lives involves broken relationships, and painful consequences in some form.

Thankfully there are many recovery groups available in our area for people to find the support they need to stay sober and help their lives heal. When some are at their lowest, they need a refuge, a place they can go to get away from the temptations of friends, and even family who live a lifestyle that isn’t conducive to recovery.
