JUST LOOKING FOR OLD FRIENDS.
I WENT THROUGH THE LIFE PROGRAM IN SARASOTA IN 1986. WHEN GROWING TOGETHER INC OPENED IN 1987 I WORKED THERE AS A ORIGINAL STAFF MEMBER UNTIL 1990. WHAT HAPPENED TO BOTH PROGRAMS? AND MRS PETE?
I WORKED CLOSE WITH BARBARA GRIFFITH AT GROWING TOGETHER AND SHE REALLY CARED ABOUT THE KIDS AND WHAT A GREAT LADY. I GREW UP IN PALM BEACH AND WENT TO JUPITER HIGH AND FINISHED AT PALM BEACH GARDENS. WHILE I WORKED AT GROWING TOGETHER THE PROGRAM WAS GREAT AND ALOT OF KIDS BEGAN TO GET WELL AND HAVE A BETTER LIFE WITH THEIR FAMILY.
THE LIFE PROGRAM SAVED MY LIFE. SINCE LEAVING GROWING TOGETHER I STARTED MY LAW ENFORCEMENT CAREER IN 1991 I SERVED WITH A POLICE DEPT., (SHERIFF'S OFFICE, DEA TASK FORCE AND THE US MARSHAL TASK FORCE). I THANK THE PROGRAM FOR CHANGING MY LIFE.
I DONT GET ON THE COMPUTER TO MUCH BUT WHEN I DID AND OBSERVED ALL THE NEGATIVE TALK ABOUT THE LIFE PROGRAM AND GROWING TOGETHER IT PUZZLED ME.
THE 7 STEPS WERE BASED ON AA WHICH HAS BEEN KEEPING PEOPLE SOBER SINCE THE 1940'S.
ANYWAY greg (wanting info on what happened to both programs thanks)
