Looking back over 2014

2014 for was a good year, but a frustrating and trying year. We started putting together NewDay last January, and it took almost a year to do all the things that needed to be done. At times I didn’t think it would happen. I met a lot of new people in Savannah as I went from here to there making sure we had all the regulation requirements and licenses. NewDay has had a great opening. The response has been greater than I could imagine. Sadly, there are many people in Savannah who need treatment for alcohol and drug problems — fortunately, now there is another resource to provide addiction treatment on an outpatient basis. Yes, there’s sadness in addiction, but there can be great joy in recovery. We want to serve the community well in 2015. We invite all who are interested to stop by our office at 1805 Abercorn Street. And, for all who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas. My six year old granddaughter is anxiously awaiting Santa, so I’m off to experience her joy this Christmas Eve. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.
