Summary

We’re a sisterhood here. We have over 50,000 women in our community and we’re all bonded by the fact that we love someone suffering from addiction.

The type of addiction doesn’t matter. We have women that love good people suffering from addiction to alcohol, illegal (or legal) drugs, prescription pills, gambling, pornography, or sex, among other things.

We build each other up. We’re not all dark, dingy, gray, and depressing. Is it hard? Oh, you bet it is. But we’re here shining a light. We’re here to offer support, love, understanding, and encouragement. We don’t believe we’re powerless over this disease.

Today we hear from one of our Love Over Addiction sisters. I hear from women in their 60s, 70s, 80s, all the time, asking if it’s too late to get a new start.

I’ll let our dear sister LOA Sister answer that question. She’s nearly 70, and has some wise, wise words of wisdom for us.

done the work. She's invested in listening to the programs, to making the hard decisions that come from true growth and the willingness to get uncomfortable in our pain, to find the happiness and joy that we all
