We accomplish our mission by providing innovative and individualized relapse prevention education, in
conjunction with a highly-structured, clinically-guided, sober, safe, and supportive living environment.
Hope for Tomorrow, Inc. is committed to the belief that incorporating a holistic approach to the treatment
of any addictive disorder produces an accountable, responsible, productive, and self-sufficient lifestyle.
Ongoing Eight Year Study Identifies Primary Issues
Leading to Relapse of Substance Use Disorders.
The chart below ranks “Primary Issues to Relapse” as identified by over three hundred Hope for Tomorrow, Inc. applicants
during an 8½ year study. All applicants have been diagnosed substance dependent and approximately 85% have a chronic
history of relapse, with an average of 3.2 previous treatment episodes. The purpose of this study was (is) to identify “clientreported” primary relapse triggers so that we, as an agency, could assist our clients holistically address their substance use
disorders; whereby achieving long-term uninterrupted sobriety and self-sufficiency.
2007 brought witness to dozens of life-changing miracles at Hope for Tomorrow, Inc. (see outcomes on page 5). Eighty-three
men and women, once caught in the devastating grip of an addictive disorder, received professional guidance, structure and
support through our residential programs. We provided 9,897 bed days of service

From the Founder & Executive/Clinical Director’s Desk
“Building lives around recovery instead of
building recovery around lives”®
It’s more than our registered slogan. At Hope for Tomorrow, it’s a whole new outlook upon life.
At Hope for Tomorrow, from the moment someone completes a residential intake application to the time a client
completes a “Discharge Questionnaire”, the concept of “building their life around their recovery instead of building
their recovery around their life”® is vehemently emphasized. Every thought they make is centered on this simple
question: Is this decision allowing me to place my recovery first and foremost? Throughout the past 8 ½ years, it
has been our observation that individuals who internalize this concept achieve long-term uninterrupted sobriety—
and those that don’t relapse!
In the wheel below, recovery is the central—most important element. Working outward, all relationships, goals,
activities, and responsibilities must come secondary to recovery. Recovery from any addictive disorder is possible
if the recovering person remains steadfast in this mindset. Without exception, our experience shows that whenever
someone falls short and relapses, it is because they placed recovery in an outside circle and put an outside circle in
the center spot where recovery should be. For example, two common areas that we see people struggle with are:
occupational obligations and interpersonal relationships. Often, especially for men, grasping the concept of
accepting a job that pays less but allows for a “balanced lifestyle” is a foreign thought. Unfortunately, society
measures worth by paychecks and assets. Self-perceptions of success often correlate to working longer hours or
striving for a high stress/high paying job. These perceptions, justified by money or material possesions, take
precedence over building a lifestyle that allows for meeting attendance; sponsor contact; developing a solid support
network; incorporating fun sober-based leisure activities; or getting enough rest. As a result, the recovering person
develops an attitude of ungratefulness—which leads to resentments—which ultimately leads to relapse. In the
interpersonal relationship scenario, an individual in early recovery (which is defined as the first 2 years of
abstinence) with a low self-image seeks acceptance through another person (e.g., if Bobby/Susan find me
attractive, I must be okay”) or a well-intended but uninformed (about addictive disorders) family that place
unhealthy and/or unrealistic expectations on the recovering person. The responsibility for building a life around
recovery lies in the hands of the recovering individual. It involves establishing and maintaining occupational;
relational; recreational; physical; financial; personal; and spiritual boundaries.
Recovery is far more than abstaining from addictive substances or
behaviors. True recovery must include a mindful transformation that

The spiritual principles behind each step are meant to be
used as a guide in our daily life. We should measure our
actions by principles to ensure that we are living in
accordance to God’s will. Principles are constant; meaning
the definition of each will always remain the same.
Honesty is honesty—it will still mean the same thing
one hundred years from now, as it did one hundred years ago.
Our experience has showed us that by incorporating these
principles in our lives, not only does the obsession or desire to use
alcohol and drugs disappear, but great miracles occur.

Quote of the Day
Hope for Tomorrow’s Annual Men’s Retreat
January 4th through January 6th, 2008
Enjoying sober fellowship, gaining personal insight, acquiring new relapse prevention techniques,
letting go of past guilt/shame, uncovering personality and temperament types, and discovering how
negative core beliefs (the internal self-defeating critic) affect the relapse process were objectives of this
years retreat.
Friday evening began with retreat participants creating a “mask” that symbolizes the masks they
wear in everyday life. Discussion focused on male-gender social messages (e.g., men don’t show or talk
about emotions; real men don’t cry, be a man; be responsible/take care of your business; don’t air your
dirty laundry in public; be a “player”). Afterward, each participant explained their personal mask to
the group. On Saturday, retreat participants discovered about their personal temperament types by
taking the Keirsey Temperament Survey. This self-assessment tool provides interaction insight into
relationships with ourselves, others, and the world. Saturday afternoon, participants engaged in a
ritualistic release of negative emotions (e.g., shame, guilt, fears) through writing down all their critical
self-talk on a post-it note and placing it into a balloon. After a brief prayer by Brother Pat, of the Villa
Desiderata, the balloons were released in unison and presented to God. Throughout the weekend,
several participants took a lead and spoke about living a life based on spiritual principles (honesty,
hope, faith, courage, integrity, willingness, humility, brotherly love, discipline, perseverance, awareness
of God, and service). Saturday evening was filled with great sober fellowship, jokes, games, and relaxation.
A very special expression of gratitude is extended to the law firm of John Bush & Darius Sethna (Oakbrook,
Illinois) for their gift of $1,500.00 that was applied toward the cost of the retreat.

“Be Honest: What I have in mind is something more than the negative virtues of not cheating, not lying, not stealing. It is a bold, direct, open stand for the truth as we know it, both
to ourselves and others”.
