I was recently turned on to the “Changing Lives Foundation” website (changinglivesfoundation.org) by a fellow writer in recovery, so I thought I would check it out. After clicking through the site and reading the different sections, I found it very informative, as it is all about recovery, and maintains a very positive attitude about the recovering individual’s personal power to overcome their addictions.
The “Changing Lives Foundation” notes its mission on the website: “Changing Lives Foundation is committed to bringing to the public clear and concise information on substance abuse, drug addiction, alcoholism and compulsive behaviors. Perhaps more importantly, we focus on how individuals and families recover from these problems.”
The site was founded by, recovering addict/author/counselor, Joe Herzanek and his wife Judy. Interestingly enough, Joe has personal experience with recovery, as he now has over 30 years of abstinence from substances; this knowledge is really reflected at the Changing Lives Foundation website.
Additionally, Joe Herzanek continues to be an active member of the recovery community; he currently counsels recovering inmates, their family members and others in the community. He has also written his popular and effective recovery book titled, “Why Don’t They Just QUIT?.” For more information on Joe and his book “Why Don’t They Just QUIT?,” visit the official website at: www.whydonttheyjustquit.com
