Helping gay men get to a better place in their lives.

Life's challenges can feel dark, heavy, or even impossible to deal with. Most people who start drug and alcohol counseling feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns. 

Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you want to escape your life ,or you know you'd be happier if you made changes, but it feels safer and more comfortable to stay the same.

Stuck in negativity and feeling out of control, you may feel like life is out of control.

Do any of the following resonate with you?

• Your energy levels are at an all-time low.
• You sometimes wake up feeling like you're dying.
• You feel unable to do your day-to-day responsibilities.
• You lost the joyful feelings that you used to have in life.
• You wake up every morning feeling overwhelmed and depressed.

If these sound true to you, I want you to know that you're not "crazy." And even though you might feel alone in your struggle, what you are going through is common, and it's okay to ask for help. Even if you don't believe you deserve care, you do. You deserve to take care of yourself.

It’s possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could...

• Really feel joy.
• Be high-energy, motivated, and ambitious.
• Shift into a more positive and hopeful outlook on life.
• Figure out who you are and what direction to go in next.
