. . . From Partners of Addicts*

"All of the openness and acceptance were so powerful and uplifting. It was such a "freeing" experience to be able to come and share and know that we're not alone. I loved learning how to handle the situation better with my husband and now I can truly be a support to his own recovery. Thank you for having this program-it will change the world for the better, one person (family) at a time. Keep it up!"

******

"When I first walked into the Getting Started Workshop I thought I was headed for a divorce. Now I understand my husband's addiction and now I am also on my way to deal with my own issues. The family diagram was very helpful. Being able to confide in people was so wonderful. Learning about co-dependency opened my eyes. I learned I am a co-dependent. And learning about the drama triangle really opened my eyes. Wonderful program. Thank you so, so much!!"
