On January 14th a gala fundraiser will be held in WPB a few seats are left. Please join us! A lifetime achievement award will be presented to a mother who created The Addict's Mom, a forum for mothers to share their stories. The Fix Fundraiser Honors Founder of 'The Addict's Mom' Support Group By John Lavitt 01/05/15 A lifetime achievement award will be presented to a mother who created The Addict's Mom, a forum for mothers to share their stories. On January 14, a gala fundraiser will honor the founder of the national support group The Addict’s Mom (TAM), Barbara Theodosiou, with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Addiction VIP Education & Networking Symposium in Florida.... Rehab Rescue, Behavioral Health Network Resources, and The Addictions Academy are providing the support needed for the gala to take place. As a mother of four, Theodosiou did not know where to turn when she discovered that two of her sons were suffering from the disease of drug addiction. Out of her despair, Theodosiou created The Addict’s Mom. A hybrid organization that includes a not-for-profit division, TAM provides several forums to mothers where they can “Share Without Shame” their experiences and their pain. Beginning as an online, grassroots national support network, TAM has grown to over 20,000 members with chapters in all 50 states. Rehab Rescue, Behavioral Health Network Resources, and The Addictions Academy are proud to present Theodosiou with the first Lifetime Achievement Award. In the same way that the Addiction VIP Education & Networking Symposium was designed to support professional connections, TAM has provided incredible outreach, education, and support toward recovery resources for families across the country. When asked by The Fix why Theodosiou had been chosen as the first recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, Charles Davis of Rehab Rescue explained, “Barbara is a trailblazer for a vulnerable population whose dreams of the American family paradigm have been shattered by addiction. By honoring her with the Lifetime Achievement Award, we are able to highlight the importance of respecting and protecting the health of the family.” The Addiction VIP Education & Networking Symposium, presented by Davis, will feature 60 exhibitors. The goal of the symposium is to connect addiction and behavioral health organizations to foster a network of ongoing professional support. Attendance at the symposium and the follow-up gala is near capacity. If you would like to participate or donate a scholarship please contact charles@gmail.com, or 561-235-6195. This is an excellent way to establish a relationship with 20,000 mothers who are seeking addiction treatment assistance. The event is 1/14/15 at The National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach, FL.

Many people get the idea that drug rehab has to be this serious thing where you sit in a room and tell horror stories from your life of drug addiction and then endure the long-lasting terrible pains of detox in a strange, clinical hospital dormitory. If this is what you picture drug rehab to be like, then you've got it all wrong! Read More  Is Marijuana Addictive? "Marijuana is a much bigger part of the American addiction problem than most people-teens or adults-realize."-John Walters The reputation of cannabis being natural and harmless makes some addicts think that its use is a good way to mitigate the effects of giving up alcohol or harder drugs. However, the goal of recovery should be to eliminate all mind-altering drugs, and addicts should realize that marijuana carries real risks. Read More  SATURDAY FEBRUARY 7th, 6-9PM "ALL ABOUT RECOVERY MEET & GREET" Address: 400 Civic Center Way - Suite B Royal Palm Beach, FL - 33411 Contact: Stephanie  Telephone: 561-408-2495 E-mail: stephanie@allaboutrecoveryinc.com Recovery Unplugged Addiction Network Inc.    The facilities are located across the country, offering unmatched programs and services that honor mind, body and soul.

January 9 CHAP 55 v 17 v 18 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

Morning , noon , and night I cry out in my distress 'and the Lord hears my voice .

He ransom's me and keeps me safe from the battle waged against me ,though many still oppose. 

(GODS BIG BOOK )

STEP 3  Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God .

Your latest relapse was not my fault ! What " I don't get to have a life" , because I am your sponsor ,your out of your mind and this is not how this works .Does this sound familiar ? Well if it does you know where I am going with this one ! This one is for all of us in recovery ! The only one who can truly be with you 24 / 7 is God .The Psalm says it all but here's the problem , frustration , fear , anxiety , and worry will silence the small still voice that is always warning you or comforting you . Come on , you know what I am talking about  ,some call it intuition , street smarts  ,or that gut feeling that when ignored can get you caught up in some dumb stuff. I wish I had a dollar for all the times I ignored that voice and wound up in trouble. Whatever you want to call it does not matter ! What you need to know is ,that is Gods voice and he is constantly speaking to us but we cant sit still and calm down long enough to hear HIM . When trouble comes we run to our sponsor or friends ignore that voice get the wrong advice and just make things worse .When life is hitting the fan , the best thing we can do is STOP ! Find a quiet place , get on your knees and be as still and quiet as possible and wait .You heard me WAIT .God is so awesome HE already knows what you need He is just waiting for you to sit still long enough to receive it. (GODS BIG BOOK )

Proverbs 19;21 - [There are] many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.(GODS BIG BOOK) By Joseph Dickerson
