People like Robin, had to unlock their own doors, before they could step into a room where others understood their plight and didn’t judge them. Some have too many personal doors to open that they never get to step outside to try and knock the doors of those organizations. Spotlight on Recovery magazine has no doors, you just walk in. Come as you are, bring your baggage, and stay for a while.
