Dear Friends,
                                                                 
Nearly every one of us has been affected by addiction. You may know from your own experience how debilitating addiction is. Last year, it was reported that approximately 21.5 million people in the U.S. ages 12 or older has a substance use disorder. At APAA, there is hope.

APAA, the Association of Persons Affected by Addiction, plays a vital role to help those seeking recovery from substance use another chance at life. Last year, APAA helped 1,100 individuals suffering from addiction to get on a recovery path. APAA is one of the nation's most innovative and successful recovery programs with an 80% retention rate! Our recovery services work. And that's worth celebrating this holiday season.
 
In 2016, we plan to increase the number of individuals we enroll in our program by an additional 200, but we need your help.

Please consider making a donation to support APAA's recovery support services so  more people may achieve health, happiness and the life they deserve this holiday season.             
                                                       
 "What sobriety...what recovery has done for me is fulfilling. I am a whole  person. My recovery is the 
most important thing."  
       - Vonda, APAA Peer & PAC Leader
