"An alcoholic is a fellow who is 'trying to get his religion out of a bottle,' when what he really wants is unity within himself, unity with God...."–Bill Wilson
"If you are in real trouble—if you are addicted to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, food, sex, worry, resentment, lying, depression, or anxiety—if you want to recover, and if you are willing to accept and act on suggestions from people who themselves have recovered—the outlook for you is good."
—All Addicts Anonymous Program

“Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody—
I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.”
— Mother Teresa
"One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do."
— Henry Ford

"A hundred times a day I remind myself that my innner and outer life depends on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the measure as I have received and am still receiving."
Albert Einstein

WHY We're Here
There is a 12-step saying, "We can do together what we could not do alone."
A place for 12-step groups to meet.
Meetings held at the center are autonomous in accordance with 12-step traditions. meeting schedule
To offer an atmosphere of recovery support blended with community support and interaction, in addition to being a real-world business example. We feel this combination will encourage people who are new in recovery to become part of the wider community and will help reduce the stigma of being an alcoholic or addict.
To help build a community of recovery a day at a time, providing a place to meet, learn, practice and share the tools of abstinence and recovery with others looking for a new way of living. This new life includes being responsible, productive, and contributing members of the community.

Drink, Eat, Share, and Shop
The Lobby area is open to the general public—this includes the sandwich and snack shop, merchandise/gift store, and lobby seating. In this atmosphere, people who are unfamiliar with 12-step recovery can look around and get information about 'how it works.' We feel this helps reduce the stigma surrounding people in recovery.

We have Credit/Debit card service available for VISA and MasterCard.
