Chapter I
       I walk down the street.
       There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
       I fall in.
       I am lost...I am helpless.
       It isn't my fault.
       It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter II
       I walk down the same street.
       There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
       I pretend I don't see it.
       I fall in - again.
       I can't believe I am in this same place.
       But it isn't my fault.
       It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter III
       I walk down the same street.
       There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
       I see it is there.
       I fall in...it's a habit...but, my eyes are open.
       I know where I am.
       It is my fault.
       I get out immediately.

Chapter IV
       I walk down the same street.
       There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
       I walk around it.

Chapter V
       I walk down a different street.

Are you walking down this street?
 

Are you or someone you care for falling into the hole?
 

Do the hole's edges seem ill defined, the depth unknown, the slippery slope to the bottom obscure?
 

Do you or yours need help getting out, in finding a different street?
 

So it is with addiction---regardless of the object of the addiction.

Let those making the journey help you explore the street and then escape; escape the hole, escape the street, and then find a better path----regardless of where you are on the street, how many times you have fallen in the hole, or even if you are uncertain as to what addiction is or where you are with it.

The Addiction Education/Support Program is a confidential group meeting of those exploring addiction and working on a way out, under the guidance of two experienced therapists. 
 

If you wonder if you should be here, you should.
