Get A Life Meetings - The alternative to 12-step programs.
through the Development of personal balance of Mind, Body, and Spirit.
RIGHT ON PROGRAMS INC. / PADRE .Has been providing an alternative to AA for DUI programs since 1978. Through the years thousand of clients have asked for ongoing support and follow-up to help reinforce their decision and lifestyle changes for acohol/drug-free living. They have also asked how friends and family members can get the same support without getting a DUI.
APPROPRIATE FOR ANYONE
The positive non-judgemental approach of the meetings does not label anyone as "alcoholic" or "addict" but rather promotes the concept that life works better for anyone without alcohol or other drugs.
Therefore, the meetings are appropriate for anyone interested in an alcohol/drug-free lifestyle regardless of their patterns of use, abuse, or addiction.
The self-empowerment groups are also appropriate for spouses, family, or friends seeking better understanding of human behavior and personal balance.
The format is highly interactive, emphasizing the positive fun, and rewards of alchol/drug-free living.
Get A Life! meetings are held at our Glendale and Burbank locationsweekly. Open to the public, there is a $5.00 charge for meetings. Or, if you purchaase a Get A Life! Handbook or Power Moves video, you may atttend meetings free.
