One of our individuals that we have been fostering their animal is now out on their own and in need of a bed. Any size will work. Does anyone have something they could donate, bug free please. Pet friendly is obviously ok. Thank you always for your continued support.

Bennie is the latest addition to our foster program. Not only does fostering require a person to keep them, but they come at great expense. All of the animals we foster are vetted, spayed or neutered and put on flea/tick/heartworm preventative. We treat them like we treat our personal animals. The average cost to us is about $700 per animal. Some are much more depending on the need. We are at a point where we need sponsorship to continue our program. I know you've seen these before, but I'll explain pick a day and then donate that amount to assist with the care of this animal, for example June 1- donate $1.00. We will update the calendar as the donations are given. You can donate by Venmo if you'd like. Here's the link. Help us continue to be able to help those who want to go to treatment. https://www.paypal.com/qrcodes/venmocs/17d3e014-8d0c-4401-b590-d6ecb28f49f1?created=1718670870

These are the most used items at our office. If you'd like to pitch in, add one of these to your shopping list next week and drop it by the office or have it delivered to us. We strive to make every penny count, so buy it water at Sam's club where it is over $1.00 a case cheaper!

Walk inside welcome! Today and every Tuesday.

Someone said once: Don't you feel like you are enabling people when you feed them? No! What we do is love people who have a hard time loving themselves. If it means we share a cup of coffee, a bologna sandwich or maybe on a rare occasion some hot soup, then that is what we do. And we do it because of people like this. This individual was worth every second we spent with them, every sandwich or cookie they ate and everything else we may have helped them with along the way. The goal is for them to reach out when they are ready and look at this! You cannot get a better compliment. I am blessed to have the best people at our office. And I mean the absolute best. We will continue to do what we do every day we can, until we are no longer needed. Thank you to everyone who supports us every day, because without you, none of this is possible. If you need help along your journey, please reach out to us, we are here to help.

April 14 ~ Nar-Anon Daily SESH Reading
GENERATIONS OF MARTYRS
How did I become such a martyr, sacrificing my own well-being as I tried to change and take care of others? As I listen to the committee in my head, I hear and understand the woman who raised me also had in her head the voice of a martyr. The church community I was raised in valued acts of self-sacrifice. Naturally, I believed this was how a good woman should behave, always giving to others and putting herself last. To behave otherwise would be selfish.
I married into addiction because it was familiar. I knew it so well from my childhood and it was prevalent in my community. My “committee” voice said, “I sacrificed so much for you! Yes, I took care of you as if you had no father, because I felt your father was too out of it to be a parent and a good influence.” Naturally, I was always stressed out. “Everything would be perfect if …” Yes, I spun my wheels trying to create the perfect marriage and perfect children.
In reality, my mother modeled to her children, and I later would model to mine. We taught our children to deny their needs, ideas, wants, feelings, and their souls for others. We were training martyrs.
Then I found Nar-Anon and learned that, although I loved the woman who raised me, I could take a different path. I could take care of myself and not feel guilty or selfish because I put my needs first. I also learned that catering to addiction only made matters worse.
Thought for Today: A martyr is somebody who makes sacrifices or suffers greatly in order to advance a cause or principle. When I make sacrifices to prevent the addict from the consequences of his actions, I am advancing the addict’s disease.
“How much a family is affected by substance abuse depends on how long they have lived with it, how advanced it is, how much shame and secrecy surrounds it, and the roles and responsibilities of the person with the disorder. If the problem is left untreated, family members will also develop destructive behaviors, such as denial, enabling, and co-dependency.” ~ The Partnership for a Drug-Free America
