Respecting yourself with honesty will give you and others a clear mission on what is healthy and what is not. When people know your struggles they can help you be aware of your behavior.
|
"Road Recovery’s mentor programs foster important change in young people’s lives - AND THEY ROCK HARD AT THE SAME TIME. They say 'if you don't stand up for something, you’ll fall for anything' and I think that’s really true. Have the courage to stand up for one another and those less fortunate. I support Road Recovery’s efforts and everyone involved in the work of this amazing organization."
|
"Road Recovery touches my heart. I knew I couldn't prepare anything for this...it's critically nice to walk in here and think, someone actually will care. Road Recovery’s youth have found a centered point in their lives to be together in this recovery because there is a result, there's a fruit, there's a tree. They’re all playing their music, switching instruments...that’s brilliant. It helps all of us that you've succeed already and leaves me to understand that there's a bigger purpose with Road Recovery. This is a very healthy expression. I think it's a miracle that WE have each other...that YOU have each other. It's great to see and it's great for me to emotionally take it on."

"Pot is fun and should be legal. For some that's all it is…for those with addictive personalities they can face a treacherous road and I’ve seen it happen to some of my friends over the years. Crystal Meth, Heroin, Coke, all that stuff can overtake you. This idea of Road Recovery helps kids avoid the treacherous road of the drugs that can overtake you."
|
"Road Recovery, such a great cause!"
|
"It took me 23 years to get there. It was a long and limey road. I’m not doing anything again if I’m not sober. Sobriety is worth it! Road Recovery is worth it! If you want it, stick it out, you’ll get there. If we follow these principals to the best of our ability then we don’t have to go back!"

|
"It's wonderful to see these young people getting sober! I really regret that I didn’t get it early, I wasted so much time. I wish Road Recovery well…their young people could have continued …but they didn’t miss nothing, I speak from experience. Together we all get to go on with life! Road Recovery's great!"

Music has never seemed so therapeutic as it does with these kids through Road Recovery."

|
"Road Recovery Walks it as they Talk it."

"Last night I spent three hours with a group of a dozen kids in Road Recovery. We talked and we jammed and it was a great experience for me. Road Recovery is comprised of people with a hope of teaching kids that they can draw a map through this world that doesn’t include a stop at the liquor store or the dope house. I saw myself in that room and I realized that to be 16 or 19 or 22... and clean... and totally uninhibited was living proof of principles in action. What appears to be contrary to the laws of nature are HAPPENING in Road Recovery. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it. It’s a true hands-on program for young people and it needs to be duplicated around the world. Do whatever you can to support them."

Road Recovery perfectly connects and complements the process of ongoing long term recovery in order for young people to live a sober full life.

|
"Road Recovery is a mitzvah. As a guy who's recovering from everything, I can appreciate both the beautiful spirit and practicality that informs this program.

"Road Recovery is one of the few adolescent recovery programs that is able to help teenagers successfully maintain sobriety within their home communities. Success occurs through a balance between: creative arts and music, the power of affiliation with other sober teens, and the ability to interact with inspirational and notable people who have been touched by either addiction or other life challenges. In my practice, I regularly utilize Road Recovery as a powerful clinical tool for treating adolescents and their families who face substance use disorders or other addictive problems."

"Road Recovery, the real deal, where dreams become reality, Crazy James an amazing group of people....their band will change your life."
|
"Let's hear it for Road Recovery! It's a tough and dirty job they do, and if they didn't do it, maybe not too many other people would. It's a crucial job, but not everybody realizes it needs doing. Road Recovery carries the promise of deliverance from those who can speak of substance abuse from those who can speak of it from first-hand experience to those who might never hear of it without their peers to relate to. It has been more than a privilege and pleasure, it has been a blessing to have participated with Road Recovery's work. I eagerly anticipate having more to do with them, and with the kind of work they do."
|
"Meeting the people from Road Recovery lifted my day, we swapped Grateful Dead stories and shared in how much being sober means to us all. Each day is a bonus, I'm so happy to be here it’s so far from where I have been in my life, and I'm inspired by meeting my new friends!"
|
"I am in the unique position of having been a witness to the conception of Road Recovery and recently in a position to refer a client from my practice to the program. In terms of prevention, Road Recovery offers young people an opportunity to interact with musicians and others in the music industry who support and live substance free lives. I will continue to refer clients and others to the program."
|
"How can we refer to ourselves as a community until we are able to take in the ones whose families may have fallen short of the mark, or those who have strayed to a distant neighborhood, and help them to be a part of it all? The Graham School and Road Recovery are doing just that. It's schooling on the road to recovery."
|
