Lets address the elephant in the room.
The expression "the elephant in the room" (or "the elephant in the living room") is a metaphorical idiom in English for an important or enormous topic, question, or controversial issue that is obvious or that everyone knows about but no one mentions or wants to discuss because it makes at least some of them uncomfortable and is personally, socially, or politically embarrassing, controversial, inflammatory, or dangerous. The metaphorical elephant represents an obvious problem or difficult situation that people do not want to talk about.
Alcoholism is a family disease!

They can be analysed, counselled, reasoned with, prayed over, threatened, beaten or locked up, but they will not stop until they want to stop. there is nothing we can say to convince a scared addict to give up the familiar misery of addiction for the frightening uncertainty of recovery.
You can lead a horse to water, you cant make it drink, however we can make them THIRSTY first!
That's where we come in!

The Mind: A Wonderful Servant But A Terrible Master.
When we talk about freedom, we talk about freedom from alcoholism and addiction....
but what about freedom from self; self pity, self hatred,
self centeredness self seeking and self will run riot?
These are all the things that cause and contribute to
the mirad of mental illnesses plaguing our society.
Alcoholism and drug addiction are genetic
inherited diseases of the mind.
There is a better way to serenity, joy, and usefulness
to ourselves and those we love whether they are using drugs or drinking or not.
Freedom from fear and insecurity
Congratulations
Let us show you a better way, we are here for you.
We didn’t cause it
We can’t cure it
But can we learn to love ourselves and them anyway?
Find out how.
