Why Are We Friends Podcast
This is a terrifying thought. One in seven Americans ages twelve and older abuse one form of drug, addiction is an epidemic. Luckily there is support, help and people who are willing to fight like hell to make sure it is there for everyone. Stephanie Zwilling is a therapist an advocate a person who stood up for people who needed a voice and refused to back down as she “dared” to bring a better life to kids in an upscale neighborhood that didn’t’ want her there.

Stephanie and I have been Facebook friends for two years, have seven friends in common and despite liking most everything she posts on Facebook, I don’t know a lot about her. But I want to find out.

After one year in our home, the PF guys and families visited the Village of Northbrook to introduce ourselves and explain what a local recovery community has meant to us.
