Looking for a reason to stay addicted?
We've been there.

NorthStar Community is a group of people recovering together from substances, destructive behaviors, and dysfunctional relationships.

“I've had enough!”
- Jennifer*

I hated coming home to a verbally abusive husband - just seeing his car in the driveway or hearing his voice would spike my anxiety.  Even more, I hated that our daughter had to watch our constant arguing.

We separated, and both of us went to counseling.  I discovered that I had PTSD from a previous relationship, and my husband accepted his traumatic history.

When our counselor recommended that we attend NorthStar Community, we were hesitant, but NSC quickly became our family.  We feel so welcomed, safe, and accepted, and we are learning how to actually enjoy the journey - not just survive it. Today, my husband and I are reconciled, healthy, and safe around each other.  

If you've had enough, come join the NSC family.  I promise we will love you through all of it.

“I didn't know hope existed anymore.”
-Patrick

I've been in and out of rehabs and taking medication for years, but my alcoholism and depression keep getting the better of me.

Lately, I started coming to NorthStar on Friday nights.  I've met many people who are struggling just like me and I've found strength in that safe community.  During open discussions, I can be as transparent as I'm comfortable being, and I learn a lot from Craig's insights into my struggles.

“I thought NSC was just for drug addicts.”
-Helena

My marriage was breaking up, and there was so much hurt in the relationship. If I wasn’t angry and resentful, then I was numb. I really thought that no one could see all of that. Not true.

I kept driving by the NorthStar banner, and eventually I decided to try it out. I called Craig, the founder of NSC, and he encouraged me to try it just one time.

I thought it was just for drug addicts. NSC is so much more than that. At NSC, I learned that I was an addict as well. I was addicted to my anger and resentment, and without NSC I still would be living that way.

Now I am on my recovery journey, having more good days than bad. I look forward to living with more joy than resentment. And yes, we did save our marriage.

We meet 2 times a week.

Hi, I’m Craig.
The guy behind NSC.

I live for the moments when someone realizes that they can break free from their addiction and live a happy, healthy life.

We're in this together. Come recover with us.

I'm here for you.
