Brother Ben I had yet another opportunity to interview a recent graduate from Rocky Mountain Treatment Center this past month and his story will be a true joy to share. Benjamin’s story is a great God story, so if you’re not up to hearing one, stop reading now. All recovering alcoholics and addicts have to

You Can Do This! Today, we are going to dispel our self-doubt. We all come up against it, very hard things that are daunting, disappointing and discouraging.
