The name “Surrender” came from my personal surrender to the disease of drug and alcohol addiction. It is through my own journey in sobriety that I became enlightened to the joy of helping others learn to reinvent themselves. With humility, honesty, and hard work, it is possible to reshape an addicts thinking and begin making healthier choices. My greatest strength is my ability to connect with people who are walking the same path of addiction. When an addict surrenders to the reality of his empty life, a successful intervention can have a profound effect upon the addict. Surrender creates a loving and respectful environment with family members and loved ones so that the addict feels safe enough to begin a journey of change.
