Lets address the elephant in the room.

The expression "the elephant in the room" (or "the elephant in the living room") is a metaphorical idiom in English for an important or enormous topic, question, or controversial issue that is obvious or that everyone knows about but no one mentions or wants to discuss because it makes at least some of them uncomfortable and is personally, socially, or politically embarrassing, controversial, inflammatory, or dangerous. The metaphorical elephant represents an obvious problem or difficult situation that people do not want to talk about.
Alcoholism is a disease!

They can be analysed, counselled, reasoned with, prayed over, threatened, beaten or locked up, but they will not stop until they want to stop. there is nothing we can say to convince a scared addict to give up the familiar misery of addiction for the frightening uncertainty of recovery.
You can lead a horse to water, you cant make it drink, however we can make them THIRSTY first!
That's where we come in!

Welcome to the Club You Never Signed Up For:
The "We Love Them, But Wow, We Need a Break" Club comes with free emotional roller coasters, surprise plot twists, and an honorary degree in Advanced Damage Control. There’s no formal initiation—just one day, you wake up realizing you’re fluent in deciphering half-truths, excuses, and suspiciously upbeat “I’m fine” statements. In coming Mental Illness!
Congratulations
Let us show you a better way, we are here for you.
We didn’t cause it
We can’t cure it
But can we learn to love ourselves and them anyway?
Find out how.
