New Clothes for Men in Recovery   We have a wonderful opportunity for men in recovery: a group of volunteers has donated a large selection of new clothes from Kohl's. All sizes, casualwear.  If you or a loved one are in recovery, or on your way to treatment/sober living - and have a need in this area, please contact Bill G (609-587-7215). Update: Walk with the Angels      The new numbers are in. In the first 6 months of 2014, COA paid over $30,000 for 50 young people to receive medical care, enter sober living and/or begin long term treatment for addiction. Without this support, many would not be in recovery today.    If you make charitable donations, please consider supporting COA. We're doing a major fundraiser right now. Paul Ressler, who lost his own son, Corey, to addiction, has generously offered to match all donations up to a total of $1,000. To donate to his fundraising team, Team Corey, click here.    To visit the main fundraising website for this event, click here.      Walk With the Angels will be held on September 14, 2014 in Mercer County Park to will support continued scholarships for recovery.  The goal is to raise $50,000 and 100% of that will be used to send people to treatment for addiction and/or get them into sober living or medical care.         *COA is a service organization: all COA services are completely free of charge and everyone who works for COA is a volunteer. That means we can be completely objective and impartial, recommending the best options for our clients, based upon their individual situations.

Not only is she is in recovery herself after years of active addiction, but she has triumphed over one of life's toughest challenges - the death of her son. Cheryl has found renewed faith and strength in the tragedy of his loss, and used that experience to become an angel to countless others. "A voice of peace came to me and showed me the love my son is living in," she says about the day of his funeral. "That was such a gift of grace. I feel that my son is always with me, because we're always talking about him or sharing him. And people know that it's genuine - we just want to help others in their journey." Cheryl has spoken out about New Jersey's heroin crisis on CBS News and in the London Times. She is a COA-trained Recovery Coach, and is now bringing COA to North Jersey.        Listen to past COARR shows any time: For "Women & Addiction" with Terri Thomas, click here.
