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. The Answers - whatever you need to get your life back on track, to stop behavior that's destroying you & those you love, and to begin to live & experience the life you were created for – the Answers are here for you, if you want to take hold of them.
We meet at 7:00 pm every Tuesday @ 6455 E Washington St, Irvington Plaza (behind La Hacienda Restaurant) Indy, 46219. 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. (check our website, http://www.cornerstoneindy.net/ for a calendar of events or call 317/353-8377 or 317/414-7442). Ages 12 & older. (if you can't find a babysitter for the younger ones, bring them - we'll keep them busy). Don't let anything keep you from coming - it's your chance to get on with your life!
You may have been to AA, CA, NA, Al anon, etc. meetings. 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. ATC is for you. Or, are you the loved one of the one having trouble? A.T.C. was designed for you too! 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' by those afflicted, have loved and devoted our lives to them even though they can't seem to break free of the addictions, the anger & bitterness, or even the past. Our lives revolved around their 'issues', we've moved, lost family & friends, changed jobs, missed opportunities, lost possessions, and lost 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 ourselves 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.
