Coping with the effects of addictions within oneself, one’s family or community can seem daunting, disheartening and isolating. The OUUC Addiction and Recovery Ministry believes that each person affected by addictions is given the opportunity of growth through love and compassion. Inherent in the seed of strife is the truth of a vibrant and joyous life unfolding.

PROMISE OF RECOVERY
A vital goal of human beings is to find their purpose in life and having done that, to achieve their highest potential. Recovery, the great promise for those afflicted with the disease of addiction or the burden of codependency, can be attained and abundant help is available for those who seek it. Yes, it can be a spiritual struggle, a physical challenge and an intellectual contest of will, but the reward of achieving a healthy, loving life with very real happiness is not only possible, but it has also been achieved by millions.

Please limit the loan period to one month.
