Recovering Alcoholics Find Support at the Pathfinders Club of Manchester, CT

Alcoholism is an issue that cuts across all age, gender, race and religious groups. Virtually, everyone's lives have been touched in some way by an alcoholic. That alcoholic person could be your spouse, parent, sibling, friend or co- worker. The repercussive actions of active alcoholics often affect other people as much as the drinkers themselves.

When a problem drinker finally admits that he or she needs help, and truly makes an effort to stop, it is not an easy endeavour. One of the primary factors affecting the recovering alcoholic's potential sobriety, is the prescence of a support network. Often, due to a host of factors, the person new in recovery lacks a strong support network and finds him or herself gravitating toward old ways. In Manchester Ct, there is a place for recovering alcoholics in all stages of sobriety to gather for meetings, fellowship and sometimes, food.

The Pathfinders Club, at 102 Norman Street, Manchester, Ct has been providing a free meeting space for recovering alcoholics since the mid- 1940's. The building itself is a bare- bones, wooden clubhouse, much like something You would see at the Seashore or at an old day- camp.
