Alzheimer’s Disease & Related Disorders

  • This may sound odd to some people, but to me the Coalition is my Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. This keeps me on track with myself because I feel a part of something and it helps me to gain more self-worth. I feel that I am finally a part of something worthwhile and am making a difference.
