This
evening a manager told me he'd made a commitment to live and work at TLC
for another year.
He said he
made the decision with some misgiving, but after he looked at his life today he
decided it was the best thing. For years he'd lived on the streets as a
homeless addict and alcoholic and for the first time in a long while he had
stability and meaning in his life.
Today he has
self-respect, and a place he calls home. And at the same time he's helping
others like himself into recovery.
His story
is similar to that of several of our managers. Many have the talent and ability
to do other things. Some have an independent source of income that would allow
them to live elsewhere.
But the
real thing for them is that for once in their lives they are able to remain
sober while making a difference in the world..
