Due to other factors, addicts are marked for relapse. Most people with addictions go to AA or NA, get a sponsor and then fail within a year. Why? What are the missing links to remaining clean and sober? The statistics are 5 to 7% remain abstinent for more than 1 year. Through further treatment one can increase his/her chances of remaing clean. Also, while in treatment recovering addicts can go within themselves and finally find serenity on their journey. One day at a time they can make it and begin to follow their true dreams.
Could self employment help on their journey? What do you think?
Survival is the key! How does an addict survive if he finishes treatment but has no job?

There are many assistance programs in the state to help entrepreneurs with disabilities. The NH SBDC is developing a virtual meeting space in Second Life. In this 3D virtual New Hampshire world, entrepreneurs may meet privately with NH SBDC business advisors and veteran mentors. Gary Carpenter is helping SBDC make this a tool for the disabled and recovering entrepreneur community.

Happy Thanksgiving! Greatful to be alive one day at a time! Glorious life! We went over my son Gary’s home to have some Turkey and watch the Patriots! Great day no battles! Even though I work in a substance abuse facility I had a glass of wine. Why! Because today I have so much gratitude! I have a choice whether I am going to have that next drink! My life is fulfilled!

For exoffenders and alcoholics and drug addicts it doesn’t look promising. Maybe starting self employment or a franchise! Could this be the year of business enterprise for survival?
