No Compromise, Lead by Example, Do Not Judge
LOVE, and if that don’t work then LOVE Some More.
In my lifetime of being in and out of recovery, my WELL Experienced trial and ERROR, mostly error on the subject of substance abuse, I am only just here telling you that although I do believe we have a dis ease for sure- we also have the solution, or the ‘CURE’.
Only trouble is we cannot seem to administer it properly or as needed.

I was in the throws of active addiction, and was also attending Celebrate Recovery Meetings in my area,( Canada, Southern Ontario). Bottom line is I could no longer find Johnson Institute or any of their connected sites, as in the Seven Priciples or policies needed to help curb addiction. I am starting out in a new venture, one that I am hoping to focus on Education early one as well as make available people and resourses for those connected to, in any way- "THE ADDICT". The Lifestyle/Signs/Symptons/cause effect. Yet the MEAT and HEART will ALWAYS be The One who didn't Die, The one WHO Has "The Answer that worked for them" EVEN Greater Yet- Is the ones with the testimonies of OVERCOMING The Odds and Testifying of a REAL Honest to Goodness Clean Life- Associated and Attributed to the Education and involvement in a life free (by Choice) from the use of outside substances to make up for the holes in our lives, holes that we all seem to come across along our way. Well, I hope that even though I am responding to an Aged Posting, someone will see it. God Bless You All!

Over the past year, we have traveled and spoken widely to Christian leaders and those in the Christian recovery arena who have felt they were alone. The message is that God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Biblel played a vital role in the astonishing successes of the early A.A. Christian fellowship founded in Akron in 1935. And we believe that those who are suffering and want God's help ought to know the recovery movement's real history and feel unfettered in any desired effort to seek a relationship with God and get well by reliance on Him. Come join us. Look at our website www.ChristianRecoveryCoalition. And contact me if there are questions or comments. In His Service, Richard G.
