PURPOSE
Family & Friends of Addicts Mission is to educate families, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sisters, brothers, grandparents and friends who have a person in their lives who are struggling with an addiction. We want to encourage and walk along side others who have the same struggles in their daily lives. Addiction is a disease; it is just as damaging to the family as it is the addict themselves. Family & Friends of Addicts offers hope to families through our support services. Without proper support they cannot effectively help their loved one. Understanding the devastating effect drug or alcohol addiction can empower families to cope with their loved one and start them on your way to RECLAIM their relationship with their family again. OBJECTIVE
Friends and Family of Addicts goals are to offer a full 12 week curriculum modeling that of Celebrate Recovery. By using the same Eight Principles based Beatitudes and Twelve Step Principles that makes Celebrate Recovery so successful. The main objective is to teach the family about the damaging effects of addiction through education provided by outside organizations, personal testimonies that offer hope from those who overcame a loved one’s addiction, educational material and referral services that can provide additional healing. Friends & Families of Addicts places emphasis on rebuilding family members from the inside out through the love of Christ. We focus on specific areas that become damaged over time. We want to provide family members a safe place to meet with others and learn that all things are possible through Christ. Matthew 11:28
Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
