Addicts helping Addicts

Running a company that’s operated by 99% drug addicts is an educational experience.

There’s no college that I know of that teaches how to manage a recovery program of 750 drug addicts – and do it without government funding or grants.

Now there are people with a lot of letters after their names who work for us. And they help us operate professionally and look businesslike. But none were involved in the founding or keeping the doors open when times were depressed.

No colleges teach how to operate without insurance or equipment or property or capital. None that I’m aware of.

The difference between us and other organizations is that we’re on a mission to stay sober and help others to get sober – whether they have money or not. The only people we don’t accept is sex offenders or arsonists because we don’t know how to help them.

The nice thing about our organization is that it is managed by addicts from top to bottom.

And we would be happy to help the government learn to use our template if they would let us do it without drowning us in bureaucracy and paperwork.

But if they let a bunch of drug addicts help them that might be kind of like admitting failure.
