Wide-O,
In my 12/17 post to SC, I mentioned my daughter, a recovering cocaine addict, who in the past few years she has gotten Certification in Recovery Support Specialist for Mental and Substance Abuse as well as Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor. She owes so much to AA and still maintains going to meetings regularly.

She is also working with the police departments in one of the suburbs. It is a program the Police Department is working with in an effort to spread to other communities.

Wide-O; their program is similar to what you are planning to get involved in. It is a most worthy cause. Mostly because you yourself have been there. You know how to "talk the talk" and "walk the walk"...

Wishing you all the best.
