Why Mark Houston Recovery?
I always sensed both your passion and compassion
"I want to thank you for the work you did with Kyle. I always sensed both your passion and compassion for what you were trying to do with him. I know many others played a big role in getting him to this stage in his recovery so please pass my thanks on to them also. I feel Kyle fully understands this disease and what he has to do to stay sober."
