My deepest condolences to the friends and family of Robin Williams in the tragic loss of another life cut short, due to the disease of addiction. Unfortunately, many suffer silently and secretly to this dreadful disease. As I have felt in the past when many people of great stature and talent like Micheal Jackson and Whitney Houston died to this disease, I have often wondered how people who seemingly have everything to live for, somehow suffered needlessly when there is help and hope available to overcome this disease. It is a painful reality that affects atleast one person in every family in America. If you have not had this problem, I'm sure you have either known, or loved someone who has. I think it's time for us to lose the shame of "hiding" our secret depression. I have gone through it on many occasions, and survived it victoriously. Although difficult at times, the resources available and having a relationship with God, has always carried me safely through. I have been a Substance Abuse Counselor many years, with a proven track record of success in helping those in the most difficult of life's circumstances. Providing effective, skilled and spiritual, not religious tools for recovery that can be incorporated into everyday life, to improve one's ability to fight depression and gain the necessary insight into the core of the problem that causes one to turn drugs and alcohol in an elusive attempt to cope with the issues of the heart and one's life. There's no greater joy than to be able to lift another human being, from the depths of despair...and help one to regain the dignity, hope and freedom to live a joyful life, full of hope and a promise for a better tomorrow. There is always hope. There is always tomorrow. There is help available if you suffer silently. There is a God who is able to see you through, however you may understand Him, is completely up to you. In a world where even the most abundant material wealth cannot bring us the inner peace and fulfillment we desire, in a world where people are dying, slowly inside with no apparent solutions, I have found what others dream of. The joy to live life....to laugh...to smile...to love oneself and appreciate the goodness of the universe each day...in good times and bad. That is a great freedom from the bondage of self. If ever someone should feel the need for help, I offer my gifts, my talents, my skills and compassion to the world. There is always hope...there is always tomorrow...someone can help. My name is Theresa...this is my page and I am accessible. God bless and know that you can make it, no matter what.
