Happy 2012!
Changing Lives is anticipating an exciting new year to bring you new ways to help families and friends fight drug and alcohol abuse and addiction.

Please keep this newsletter handy so you can access our many NEW resources and links.

As you will see, our main focus has been on our new live call-in radio show which makes its debut this Saturday, January 14th (yes, we realize this is right before the Broncos playoff game!). If you are in the Colorado Front Range, catch us in your car or at home--or on your computer or smartphone from anywhere in the USA. Listening Live is super easy (see link to the right and below).

IMPORTANT: We will be emailing you with info on each week's radio show. If you want to modify your mail preferences, click on the "Update Profile/Email Address" link (scroll all the way down to the bottom) and follow the directions.

As usual we have included some recent blog posts, "Ask Joe" and news articles. Please take a moment to read it all when you get a chance.

Thank you for your continued partnership to help those who are struggling. We wish you a successful and blessed new year ahead.

Please share this newsletter with anyone you know who can use some support and encouragement.

Exactly what do I mean by"raising the bottom"? This whole idea of "hitting bottom" is out of date. Some people will wait years--even decades--for their friend to reach this mythical point in their alcohol and drug use.

 

But why wait for them to "hit bottom"? Why not help them by raising their bottom? There are ways to encourage someone to reach for help much earlier.  

 

In doing so, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary pain and heartache and maybe even save their life. For some people, hitting bottom will be six feet underground.
