Some Words from CRA Alumni:

"I experienced the comfort and counsel of a community of recovering alcoholics who were also new to sobriety. As I continue in my recovery, I know that it is in no small measure because of the loving support I received at Come Rest Awhile in the first few weeks and months of my sobriety." - Laura P.
