THE REASON I STARTED THIS PROJECT , WITH THE HELP OF NANCY C. AND JULIE RYAN, WAS BECAUSE I NEEDED AN ALTERNATIVE TO A.A.  NOT ONLY AM I AN ALCOHOLIC BUT ALSO A DRUG ADDICT AND LIKE MANY DRUG ADDICTS I DEAL WITH A HUGE AMOUNT OF  ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION.  GOING TO AA.  I UNDERSTAND HELPS SOME PEOPLE, BUT I SEE THAT RELAPSING OSTRASIZES PEOPLE, AND THE WHOLE NOTION OF GOD(HIGHER POWER )MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH, THAT IS SOMETHING I PERSONALLY CANNOT DEAL WITH, THOUGH IT GREATLY BENEFITS OTHERS SO IM NOT DISSING IT.  BUT RECENTLY IVE BEEN TRYING TO STAY SOBER AND RELAPSING ALL OVER THE PLACE, MY RECENT BAND COLAPSED TO DRUG ABUSE(GO FIGURE) AND MY FRIEND SHOT HIMSELF AS A RESULT OF A FIVE DAY BINGE AFTER A STINT OF SOBRIETY.  NANCY ALSO LOST HER SON ROB REIRDON TO A HEROIN OVERDOSE, I HAVE ALSO HAD MY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES THAT I CANT TALK ABOUT ON THIS BLOG.

THE WHOLE POINT HERE IS THAT THERE WILL BE MEETINGS AND ACTIVITIES FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO GET/STAY SOBER AND DEAL WITH SELF MEDICATION AND ISOLATION ISSUES AS WELL.  HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE. -JAMES HARKINS
