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.

The Upcoming Ordinance Impacting Recovery in Springfield

I want to draw your attention to something happening in Springfield. It is the mistreatment of a group of people who are trying to rebuild their lives. We are disenfranchising and marginalizing people who have amazing things to offer our community without giving them a chance to reach their full potential, and it is reprehensible.

Meth PSA

I had an opportunity to do a Public Service Announcement (PSA) last year that played on a couple of television affiliates for a local anti-methamphetamine organization started by the Rotary Club in Springfield, MO. Don't Meth with Us began working with 5th grade students locally and has expanded across the state, becoming Don't Meth with Missouri. With this initiative they are trying to reduce the number of youth who begin using.
