We have a vision, it is to see this CRC program we offer on campus grow into a strong, structured safe haven for the recovering population. Since we have started this blog a couple months ago I am the only one who has written entries. The student participation is low right now, but it is our hope to have other students come forward and share through this blog. In the mean time we have decided to go a different route.
The only practical solution was to reach out to the community! As a person living in this society I knew it was possible because we like doing things together (Maslow's Hierarchy of needs). In reaching out to other bloggers in the community for different perspectives we have come across a new benchmark. Everything I have read so far has been inspiring, there is a lot of great information out there and I think making those connections is paramount. The idea of guest writers is another avenue we want to explore. I am not a boring person and this is a really great cause, the people that are helping behind the scenes are courageous and amazing people. So it is only appropriate the blog mirrors the people supporting it.
We are looking to find innovative and creative ways to help people going through tough times. Imposing views on people is not the answer, saying it is easy is not the answer but letting people know it is not the end of the world if they need to stop is instrumental.
We have a vision deep in our hearts,
The days light up and we give it all of our smarts.
We work to bring people together,
closing gaps and starting the next endeavor.
It takes time and ambition to stick it out,
But everyone I work with has no doubt.
The things we do come naturally,
Making it easy to give advocacy.
We have decided to continue the AA meeting starting July 10th, this will be the following Monday after second session begins. The meeting will be the same 6:00pm-7:00pm in Student Health Center, Rm. 293.
Thank you for following, or please join us if you are in recovery, know someone in recovery or just would like to follow us!
