<p>With a generous contribution from an anonymous donor, when you give to <a title="I want to support Faces &amp; Voices of Recovery" href="http://www.facesandvoicesofrecovery.org/about/building_recovery_communities.php" target="_blank">Faces and Voices of Recovery</a> this season, your contribution will be matched dollar for dollar until DECEMBER 31. That means your donation will be worth twice as much.</p>

<p>Our stories of recovery from the ravages of alcoholism and substance abuse carry power <a href="http://faith-partners.org/connections/team-stories/out-in-the-parking-lot/">out in the parking lot</a>, in our <a title="Mt. Zion United Methodist Church" href="http://www.mtzionumc.org/faithpartners">church community</a> and in our homes.</p>
<p>I’m Kathy Drewien and I am in long-term recovery, which means that I have not used alcohol for more than 30 years. I am committed to recovery because it has given me and my family new purpose and hope for the future, while helping me gain stability in my life. I am now speaking out because long-term recovery has helped me change my life for the better, and I want to make it possible for others to do the same.</p>
