What
we know for sure is that alcohol and drug addicts
that actually work the twelve-step program rarely
relapse. We also know that without an alcohol and
drug free living environment most people have found
that early recovery is next to impossible. Still others
have found that without structure and/or support early
recovery can be overwhelmingly difficult.
Turning Point’s
mission is to provide the best possible chance of
early recovery from alcohol and drug addiction by
monitoring our resident’s twelve-step recovery
through our in house management support teams while
providing a safe, supportive and structured living
environment.
By
ourselves we are nothing. We are only as good as the
people that God puts in our lives. Credit for our
high level of success goes to the twelve-step program,
committed residents, our kind referral sources and
many helping friends. Without a man named Bill that
made the financing and the location of our first house
possible, Turning Point would not exist.
Our growth is
a result of loyalty, teamwork, and striving to do
the next right thing. Without loyalty little can
be accomplished. However, with trust many of our
dreams become a reality. Teamwork, of course, is
where common people achieve uncommon results. The
next right thing builds a house of stone rather
than a house of cards that will fall with the first
wind.
Knowing
first hand the hopelessness of having no money, no
where to go and no one who cares, I can never show
enough gratitude to my friends in recovery. They taught
me to stay on the action committee, let God take care
of the result committee and not give up five minutes
before the miracle happens. Without their advice I
would not have stayed clean/sober since August 1,
1989 and Turning Point would not have been founded
January 3, 1997. As an old timer once said, “you
can’t change the world but you can make a difference!”
