I'd like to share one of my morning prayers: God, direct my thinking today so that it might be divorced of self pity, dishonesty,self will, self-seeking and fear. God, inspire my thinking decisions and intuitions. Help me to relax and take it easy. Free me of doubt and indecision. Guide me through this day and show me my next step. God give me what I need to take care of any problems I ask all these things that I may be of maximum service to You and others in the name of Your steps I pray. (AA BIB BOOK page 86. )

Some thoughts from my meditation book, Meditations With Native American Elders; Every person is created with direction. This purpose and direction is written in our hearts. In addition we are given access to a quiet guidance system which helps us find our purpose ~ it's called intuition. We have been given skills talents and abilities that are unique only to ourselves. We must practice daily prayers and meditation with God to find this information. We always need to be able to answer three questions: Why am I? Who am I? And where am I going? If I can answer these questions, I'll always know I'm ok!
Great Spirit, show me the path of life. Help me to walk the path with much Gratitude, Spirit and Love Sending prayers 🙏 ❤️ and love 🙏 ❤️ to all. Have a blessed and peaceful day! 🙏 ❤️

Addiction doesn’t just impact one person; it affects the entire family. That’s why we’re hosting Recovering Together, a 6-week educational and support program starting this January at Starting Point.

Developed and facilitated by Samantha Medina, MS, LCADC, CCS, Brent E. McNamara, MA, LCADC, Cyndy Pappaterra, MA, LCADC and Alice D., MSP, BA, CCBT, the guided series is designed to help families:

✔️ Understand addiction & reduce stigma
✔️ Improve communication & set healthy boundaries
✔️ Rebuild connection & support lasting recovery

Each week covers a powerful new topic, from codependency and communication to self-care and relapse prevention. Whether your loved one is just beginning recovery or has been on the journey for a while, you don’t have to go through it alone.

The holiday season isn’t always joyful, especially when you’re carrying grief.
This time of year can magnify the absence of someone you love, and it’s completely okay if the season feels heavier than it used to. 💛

If you’re navigating waves of sadness, missing someone deeply, or finding it hard to feel “festive,” please know you’re not alone.

At Starting Point, we’re here to walk beside you with understanding, compassion, and resources designed to support you through grief.

You deserve space, gentleness, and comfort this season.
We’re here to help you find moments of light as you move through it, together.
