You Won't Leave Here the Way You Came!
It's hard to fully explain A.T.C. because you have to experience it for yourself. It's not the same to each person - it's as individual as you are. What you need to get your life back on track, to stop life-destroying behavior, to begin to live the life you were created for - is here for you, if you want to take hold of it.
We meet at 7:00 pm every Tuesday @ 41 N Shortridge Rd, Indy. Across from Gold's Gym at Washington & Shortridge (the old Eastgate Mall). The only times we won't meet is when a field trip is planned, the weather is too dangerous for travel, or the Tuesday is a holiday - which rarely happens. Ages 12 & older. (can't find a babysitter for the younger ones? bring them - we'll keep them busy).
You may have been to an AA meeting, or something similar. You may have had counseling. You may have been in one or more programs to help your situation. You may have been in jail or prison. Or you may be the loved one of the one having trouble, A.T.C. was designed for both of you! Whatever your past experience - get ready for a new and most UNIQUE experience!
Everyone in A.T.C. has been addicted, abused or abusive, depressed, angry, bitter, lonely, deceived, locked up or locked down. Every person has hurt, or has been hurt by family, loved ones, friends or others. Personal dignity, confidence, self-worth, and hope - have all been compromised.
Those 'afflicted' have thrown away family, friends, money, jobs & careers, homes, cars, and other possessions while trying to find that 'place' of happiness and peace. In their own pain, anger, guilt & shame they got wrapped up in bitterness, abuse, drugs, alcohol or prostitution. They lost a lot of time, and a large piece of them died.
Those 'affected' have loved and devoted our lives to the 'afflicted' who can't seem to break free of addiction, or anger, or bitterness, or the past in general. Our lives revolved around their 'issues', we've moved, changed jobs, lost opportunities, possessions, and control of our own lives. We've lost a lot of time, and a big part of us died also.
But, through A.T.C., we each find ourself again, we each are healed, and we each begin to come alive again! That elusive place of peace, happiness, and safety becomes real to each of us. Relationships are restored, broken & wounded hearts are healed, and material possessions no longer slip away. Our dignity, our confidence, and our self-worth is redefined according to the new life we see ahead.
For the first time in a very long time - we can really say that we are free! Free from fear, confusion, slavery to drugs or alcohol, or another person. We are free to make intelligent decisions based on our new perspective, our new outlook on life as it pertains to our purpose in life. We are able to use our talents, gifts and abilities to their fullest. We are able to see the full potential in ourselves. We can look in the mirror and like what we see. We can look at others and like what they see in us!
Please! Don't put it off, don't let anyone talk you out of it, don't let anything keep you from it. Come ASAP! Bring a spouse, or a family member, a loved one, a friend or whomever. Just come! Experience it for yourself, then make the decision if A.T.C. is for you or not. No pressure, no guilt, no judgment. Just understanding of what you are going through, and the Answer to the Way out! It's up to you.
Hope to see you soon - your friends & family at A.T.C.
