I remember telling my group at Connections Counseling in Madison that I couldn't imagine a life without music festivals and concerts.. they were what I lived for! I loved being social and DANCING.. and for me at that time that also meant being immersed in alcohol and drugs.

At a recent training I attended, one of the presenters struck a chord with me. A sergeant from the Greenfield (Wisc.) Police Department talked about the success his agency had with a heroin recovery program. The agency had an agreement with a local hospital to provide immediate treatment to those who came to the police asking for help. I thought to myself, “What a great idea!"
