Silver Linings: Support for families affected by substance abuse.

Wednesdays, 7:30 – 8:30 PM:
To all our Colorado Front Range friends: Everyone knows someone affected by a friend or loved-one’s substance abuse. Please consider helping us launch our new support group by attending and helping us spread the word!  Also, if you’ve been through a tough situation with a loved one’s substance abuse and would like to help a newcomer who may be feeling hopeless, you can  help “pay it forward” by attending to share your experience, strength and hope.

Silver Linings: Support for families affected by substance abuse.

Recent Amazon.com reviews:

Best book ever about addiction. Written by one whose done it and is recovering. Easy to read, not preachy, just honest. I recommend this book to anyone with an addict in their life! ~Lynda A

Got an addiction problem in your family? Read this book. Joe knows his stuff. This book helps you better understand those dealing with friends and family that are addicted to drugs and alcohol. I have read several of these books but this one is the best. ~RJ

I, like many people, have some knowledge of what drugs and addiction are, but are clueless on what the process of recovery entails. This book does a great job in what it would take to help a loved one, who is an addict and is willing to get clean and stay clean. It also gives one hope that your loved one will survive the nightmare they are living through with their family. ~CG
