Taking it slow and easy...

Game night brought out very few people last week. It felt discouraging given the outcome but also ready to find ways to continue to keep the students engaged. Anything worth a damn is going to take hard work and dedication to see positive results. It is about perseverance and having the passion to help others for the greater good. It is amazing to have all the support and know this cause is being addressed by a whole lot of people. I learned when I got sober it is okay to ask for help, and it is quite a fallacy to think doing so makes you weak. Which I personally felt was the case for a long time. Now that I have asked for help because I can't do it alone, it proves to be best course of action. When I try to do things on my own, my alcoholic thinking gets in the way and everything goes wrong...remembering I lack control...is key to successful recovery.

We were supposed to have a game night tonight but have decided to postpone until after Spring Break. We have to advertise more and find better ways to get people interested...

Some of us will be traveling down to Kennesaw State for a conference next week: 7-9th of March. We will be interacting with students and employees from all over the nation that have successfully implemented CRCs on their college campuses. I personally look forward to networking and speaking to those who have made it possible. Picking up tips, solutions and better ways to bring those students who need this into the program.

Next on the agenda: There is a large group of people out there that really never took interest in drinking! We would like to speak to some of those students and get some perspective from their point of view and see if they want to help. More to come...
