However, a network of recovery friends and supporters appears, offering support and expressions of love. It's a reflexive reaction when those we care for face tough challenges.
Someone in the program is hospitalized and a stream of visitors shows up. A car breaks and it gets fixed. A job is lost and quickly replaced. Money appears for school clothes.
Our sisters and brothers in recovery are an extended family - bonded by an insidious disease that looks for signs of weakness so it can destroy us.
The group encircles us with love, providing strength and security in our darkest moments - a haven when life seems overwhelming.

And when we're safely on the other side we're grateful for the fellowship that carries us through.
