“West Hollywood Recovery Center is the cornerstone for thousands of sober members of the community. Period. From the log cabin to the West Hollywood Recovery Center’s many iterations, it’s been a place for people to go from their earliest points in sobriety to get a cup of coffee and something to eat, to starting the foundation of their recovery. I got sober very young. The only place I knew to go was to the Log Cabin, and I would come in various states of how–do you say–inebriation. I was just in a not well state, and nobody ever said I had to leave. They gave me a seat, a cup of coffee, and something to eat. Sometimes it was the only time I had a meal. So today, I do whatever I can for this center and for my home group meeting. The first time a came here I felt there was always a sense of being welcomed, from the staff like Don Norman to who was on the board to the meetings that they had here. There were so many people in meetings like the Old Timers meeting that used to be here that were huge in my recovery I have a lot of love for them.”
