Dear Editor,

Please join me on Wednesday, August 27, when our community will once again gather in New Canaan for the 9th Annual Community Addiction Awareness Vigil. Year after year, this event reminds us that while addiction continues to claim too many lives, recovery is possible, and hope is stronger than despair. The theme of this year’s Vigil is Sharing Stories Saves Lives.

The ninth annual Addiction Awareness Vigil will take place on Wednesday, August 27th, beginning at 7:00 pm (casual music and meet-n-greet starting at 6:30), at the corner of Elm Street and South Avenue. This year’s theme, “Sharing Stories Saves Lives”, builds on the experience of the past nine years and past themes, and the event will highlight three individuals who share their recovery stories. NCPSG founder, Paul Reinhardt, says he is convinced that the Vigils over the years have saved lives, because people have heard how life can change for the better.
