The old thinking that breeds over-confidence and laziness keeps us from our recovery tasks. Keep your recovery number one.
"BE INSIRED BY THE COMMITMENT!!!"

Family Unity - not Medication.
Medication offers a 'quick fix' which all addicts want. However, the process of staying sober and clean after getting sober and clean demands work over two to five years. Initial minimal substance abuse treatment, 4-5 hours per week, when combi...

Spiritual Conversion, not Medication!
Recovery from a "hopeless state of mind and body" requires faith that is sufficient enough to stop the cravings and help the addict/alcoholic to enter treatment. This is necessary. I get high and drunk and we set sober and clean.

Addiction is Killing us as a Country
The impact of alcohol and/or drug abuse is causing impairment in politics, education, business and parenting. It is ruining our families. Our greatest ally is accurate and appropriate information on substance abuse.

The biggest mistake I've seen people make when trying to get sober and clean is trying to get their life in order before entering treatment. The correct order is to get sober and clean and then you can get your life in order.

A simple spiritual connection and a willingness to make up for the harm done to self and others is all that is needed to get and stay sober and clean.
This is what I do. This is what I teach!

We take away the time and money excuse by making treatment just 9 hours weekly. If you have no money, I will give you four weeks to get a job and begin paying. We at My Freedom Quest won't enable you but we will help you to get back on your feet.

The money comes second. If you or a loved one is broke and want treatment, I will evaluate and let you into treatment if you are willing to do what succeddful recovering people do and allow me to be the therapist and coach you.

There are new friends just like your old friends, only we don't use anymore. We have found a way to get sober and clean and enjoy life.

When all four are treated, the addict/alcoholic becomes a part of society that he or she rejected. There is a peace that far surpasses the 'high' falsely acquired, and eventually non-existent, obtained from using mood-altering, mood destroying substances.

Drug free is attainable. It takes work but being returned to normalcy, clean and sober, is a joy!.

If you are considering sobriety/recovery, you have been 'contacted. 96% do not get out of denial' (Ohlms, D., M.D., 1986.)
Love and Peace,

The timing is perfect. If you are considering it, take the next step before you go back into denial. You deserve a good life.

The biggest indicator is if you continue when you or others are seeing and suffering from problems.

Consequences are relative to the person who is misbehaving. Ask a love one if he or she sees a problem with your drinking or drug use. Do not be afraid to know. It could save a life.

When we own the problem, it is the beginning of the solution - a Higher Calling in life. We are then on an honest endeavor to change for the better.

The main concern is whether it is getting in the way of your family, health or work. Take an honest look at these issues. You deserve to be free from negative choices.

Don't give up. Study your Program to find the weaknesses. Are you doing the basic things that successful recovering people do?

Accept their feedback and question it. Try not to dismiss it. It's ok to doubt them.

Sometimes it is a matter of not using for a while so you can see the benefits and also the harm done to self and others. Then you can have hope.
