ADDICTION RECOVERY CENTER IN VESTAL, NY

Yes. We do this by helping you discover your purpose in life. Your purpose is through holding the world view that gives purpose to every human being, everything in the world and every event is interconnected and has a purpose. The most wondrous purpose is developing deep and lasting connections (aka relationships) with other people. Learning how to do this starts on your first day. Everyone is given gifts to practice in life. These are discovered through work skills and practices done on the campus. The ones that seem to flow easily point to your purpose. Thus, they point to who you are. Your purpose becomes the glue that holds connections together with deep rewards following.

This is called Commitment Phobia or Relationship Anxiety. Love, particularly young love, is the most wondrous and euphoric experience in life. Too often it becomes the most hurtful of all experiences. Some never overcome the loss and have anxiety over any relationship. This paradox does not have to be. The problem is not the euphoria. The problem is that the first euphoric experience is so unique one whispers, I want that tomorrow too, to be able to “live happily ever after.” The truth standing against this whisper is that love is present tense not to “live happily ever after.” One or the other will die, suffer a loss or have circumstantial change first. Love exists from moment to moment by choice for affection and care that would allow each to pursue their purpose while remaining in the relationship. This is Liberty! After each moment being thankful for the experience that so animated and enriched that relationship. Then, being open to love again in the next moment or day. This is vulnerability. This understanding is learned by practice and guidance within our congregate campus. All of this works together in transforming hurts into opportunities for love in ways nothing else can!
