Pain, Failure and Misery are the Stepping Stones to Success

Pain, Failure and Misery are the Stepping Stones to Success is a story of triumph that only pain and misery could bring. It is a story of hope that is offered for our youth, our family and friends who are suffering from chemical dependency, for those who have lost loved ones as they didn't have to die in vain, and for clinicians who are seeking a way to think that may differ from the norm so we can offer tools to save lives. With an average of 7 Americans dying every hour from a drug overdose it is time we stop focusing on the reduction of supply, because it isn't working and focus on demand. It is time we do something and that time is now.

Your path that you are about to embark on will evolve and grow as you move forward. Change, that is nothing to fear, will be the reward of
your efforts and I encourage you to embrace the possibilities. Most of the limits that you see will be limits you have put on yourself, so don't hold
yourself down with judgments but instead learn to take risks and open your eyes to new opportunities. You are worth it. You have great things to offer
the world. Life is a bowl of lessons and because you have taken the pain to acquire them, lets teach the world the things we have gained and maybe we
can help one person to not have to dredge through the suffering as we did.
