The Springfield Recovery Community Center: Hope Starts Here

I have not been writing on here as I should, but that will hopefully be changing soon. I have been extremely busy recently and my writing has not been going as it needs to be. I am dedicated from this day forward to putting out at least one blog a month, on the first Friday of every month. I may on occasion write more than that, but right now I have a ton on my plate. 

Today, though, I have some major news. On May 1st Better Life in Recovery, in partnership with New Beginnings Sanctuary and a non-profit I am not yet at liberty to reveal will be opening up a 3000 square foot Recovery Community Center (RCC), located behind the neighborhood Wal-Mart on South Glenstone. We will be in the strip mall located at 1925 East Bennett. We will start with limited hours.

Long-Term Recovery: Rough Draft Letter to the Editor

Missouri is one of the top states for manufacturing methamphetamine. It is estimated that 500,000 children between the ages of 12-17 will use drugs or alcohol and after the age of 18 that number more than doubles. Recently we heard the Missouri Governor’s son was accused of drinking and driving. All too often we hear the negative impact of those not yet in recovery, but it does not have to be that way.
