Awesome recovery club with plenty of options if you are a pick type or newcomer!!! I personally believe that 12 step programs are all in a main way related and if I end up in HA though my DOC was uppers, I can listen to a HA member talk and relate fully to them. And if you're real smart if they say HEROIN during their share, just replace in your mind with your DOC and Bam WaLa you relate too ;) keep it simple and recover.

I'm a newly young African American, guy and after hearing several positive reviews that it's a great place then I decided I would go ahead and give it a try. 3 times, I have attempted to go here and felt very uncomfortable as well as feeling nervous and scared. I walked away out of all 3 of those experiences. I have understood that the center here does not welcome people of color here.
Just yesterday there was a gentleman that was working as a Cashier and he saw me but chose not to speak to me but rather decided to speak other Caucasian individuals and despite all the hate in the US, people would say i'm using a victim mentality but no I'm stating factual incidents that have occurred. It's very sad and heartbreaking that someone of color would like to get help with several other peers, struggling with similar issues and yet, this is what has happened. I would like for the City of Austin and several organizations to know about this and see what can be done to improve and shed light on the ssituation to see what's really going on here.
Good luck to you all who are seekinghelp...oit

What do you say about a place that's saving your life? People in recovery come from any and everywhere. If you go there to fellowship with the women and really dig into the steps, it's a true life saver. Call it God, I do, but I feel a healing presence hovering around us all just waiting to clear cobwebs out of our heart and teach us to use it again.

Caring open minded individuals. A very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere... Great music, Big comfortable chairs, and positive Life For Me conversation to go with it. It is a meeting house for all things recovery, from narcotics to other standing. This is the place for you. There are specialized groups for each area of difficulty. But they're all twelve step meetings that evolved from program of Alcoholics Anonymous. There is a coffee bar and snack cafe within the main room. Everyone is welcome, all the time.
