Recovery Resources
Comprehensive Support for Your Journey to Recovery
"Recovery for me means making healthier decisions. Being able to do this actually allows me to feel good about me. Feeling good about me results in being able to embrace reality. Embracing reality means to realize my place in the world. My humanness brings me to the point of surrender and realizing I do not have to control everything. There is a divine system that is in motion. I am a piece of this system. I am connected to everything around me and everything is connected to me. Accepting things, the exact way they are gives me freedom, it also gives me a choice. I get to choose today to be a part of the problem or a part of the solution. When I choose to be a part of the solution I do not have to live in the dysfunction that separates me from reality. I get the opportunity to live in the moment and the grace to see that I have a purpose. That we all do."~Damien Browning, Founder, Executive Director
