"Being the mother of a son who's been battling addiction for three years, I wonder when it will end. He's been to outpatient treatment, rehab, sober living and is still in AA; I'm in Al Anon myself. TruthTalks offered a missing piece for me. Listening to young adults who are sober for a year has helped me understand what my son may be feeling and thinking, and talk to him with more empathy. Talking with them, I've learned about local resources that I've used to help our family. I can see beyond the current situation with more hope and confidence."

"TruthTalks is an empowering process for all involved. Parent are able to ask questions, share their struggles, and get honest and nonjudgmental feedback on ways to improve self care and support their kids' in positive ways.
Sober kids are able to be experts, sharing their experiences, struggles and triumphs with parents who are eager to listen. Everyone benefits, and the love, admiration and support in the room is palpable. It is an extremely affirmative process that leaves the participants with hope for family recovery."

""My wife and I attended several "TruthTalks" meetings when we discovered our 17 year old son had been smoking pot. We learned a lot from the recovering addicts who are present at the meetings. It was very helpful and SCARY to hear of their experiences and be able to talk to them face to face."
