As a new company to the Edmond, OK area, we are honored to be hosting an upcoming event that highlights the importance of sobriety and recovery. The event is called Night of Hope OKC! It is for anyone who has been impacted by addiction find HOPE and HELP. Be sure and stop by our booth at the after party and say hi!
I am continually amazed by the number of people who have had their lives touched somehow by addiction. If you know anything about me, you know that I've been in alcohol addiction recovery since 2004. My life has changed dramatically since that time. Prior to that, my life was a complete roller coaster ride, and not a very fun one. I chose to stay on the roller coaster much longer than it had to be. Why? Mostly because I was scared...scared of what I'd have to do to get sober...scared of how I'd have to learn to live sober...scared of my feelings without being numb...scared of my past. And then I reached a point where I was scared to continue drinking...scared by the fact that the alcohol wasn't strong enough to numb my pain anymore...scared that I was feeling intense feelings anyway...scared of my future if I kept drinking.
Then there is the other side of the coin. The side that misses my brother terribly because he died from his addiction, never knowing what sobriety was like, hurting his family and friends, loving him so much, but not being able to save him from himself. You see, I know what it feels like to be the addict and the family member who is hurt by a loved one's addiction. It sucks being on either side.
The good news is that there is hope and help. We are equipped at Tensegrity to help you whether you're the one struggling with addiction or the family or friend of an addict. You don't have to suffer alone or in silence.
Night of Hope OKC is FREE!! It's fun!! You'll experience some great speakers, music, and resources. Be there! And when you are ready to get help or support, call (405.285.7332) or email us! We'd be honored to hear from you!
If you're from out of town, don't worry! We will accommodate you on the weekends for appointments and intensives! Just let us know how we can help.
