Home Sweet Home

I have friends and colleagues around the states that are either in the same field of work as i or are just avid news followers. So it goes without saying that any time we converse the discussion topic will got to "what's happening on the border".

I know that the news here in El Paso is all aflutter about the "Drug Wars". Now most folks think "war on drugs", but this is not the case. What the news is aflame about is "horrific fight between it, the Juárez Cartel and the Sinaloa Cartel."

Here are some sites to give you a flash view on what has been happening, and what our Texan city of El Paso is doing to live in a solution.

The effects of this state of events is devastating and being read and talked about around the globe. The organization that I work for and those that we collaborate with continue to live in the solution. It goes without saying that if there wasn't a demand for the product .....

My job is to be that beacon for a life free from drugs. I am proud to be a person in active recovery and be of service to the recovery community.
