Speaker: Jeff Jarvis (and Friends)
The sad truth is that behind many of our smiling faces on Sundays or our impressive, enviable pictures and posts on social media lie some dark secrets of internal torment and struggle. You’ll find some who are secretly struggling with compulsive behavior and addiction as well as those who are trying desperately to understand and love those addicts. This Sunday, Chad Bush and Luke Saunders, a couple members of our community, are going to open up and help us understand what goes inside the mind of an addict. It’s going to be an interview style session that will bring insight and hope to those who are trying desperately to love an addict. Don’t miss it.

Though this article is specific to alcohol addiction, the 3 C’s are applicable to most any other addiction and need to be wrestled with and considered by anyone trying to love and help their addict family member. http://www.al-anon-sc.org/the-family-disease-of-alcoholism.html
