Later this month a new group of hurting and broken young men and women will arrive here at His Mansion.  I Have A Stronger Desire - Jonathan Boyle    "In retrospect, my childhood was typical. I grew up in a middle-class family in Springfield, MA. I made a lot of friends in our small neighborhood, and we would play football in the street and ride our bikes through the woods.    I attended a Catholic elementary school, was baptized as an infant, and received my first communion in the church. But it wasn't until the community at His Mansion surrounded me that I began to understand what it means to have a relationship with Christ.    As I entered my teenage years, I was diagnosed with a learning disability. I responded with anger. I was placed into another school-a new place to try and fit in.     I began to identify with the rap culture. My idol was the rapper Eminem. I even dyed my hair blonde to be like him. His lyrics about feeling misunderstood resonated with me.    My relationship with my parents wasn't great either. They didn't understand what I was going through. And as the only son among three sisters, I created a completely different parenting experience for them.     My dad was angry much of the time and was difficult to be around. My mother, a nurse, spent a lot of time at work. I began to fulfill my need for connection in unhealthy relationships with girls. I was drinking and smoking, and then my girlfriend's family introduced me to opiates."

The Social Interactome is here! Our new research project is examining social networking as a tool in recovery. We need your help! The Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute was recently awarded a $1.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Heath to study how social media interactions could help people recovering from alcohol, opiate, or stimulant addictions.   Please refer your friends who are in recovery to join IQRR today!

You will be assigned a network of Recovery Buddies (RBs) to interact with during your participation. You will be able to write on their wall, comment on images, and encourage each other along the way!   There will be assessments to complete and live video meetings to attend! You will have access to modules designed to educate you, challenge you, and improve various aspects of your recovery experience.  Sign up today!
