Minne-sober
Interesting article Sunday in the Star Tribune www.startribune.com (in the Source) about the welcoming environment in Minnesota for persons in chemical dependency rehab. One quote in that article really got my attention that points to the way that chemical dependency is no respecter of class or any other distinction. “In Minnesota you don’t have to explain why you’ve gone from being an executive or an airline pilot to making cappuccinos and lattes in a coffee house.”

Hi Irshad,
First, let me say that I pray for you, family members, or friends who are struggling with addiction recovery. It is a challenging journey, but one I believe can be best done with a deeper connection to one’s Higher Power.
So, I pray that you or whomever you know that is struggling with addiction, might discover that power deep within you as a source of strength and hope.
Thanks for posting. I appreciate your question, but City House tends to the spiritual life of persons who find themselves on the margins of society, including those in recovery.
We are not a direct treatment facility. Instead, we partner with those facilities that are already doing this work, and then we tend to the spiritual lives of folks as they go through their recovery process.
You came to us through the addiction treatment web site. I suggest that you look there for treatment facilities in California that can support you in your recovery.
In the meantime, know that there are people like us in Minnesota who are praying for you and others in recovery.
Peace
Tom
