Addiction Recovery

Nonprofit Offers Hope for Addicts

HEALING FROM THE HEART –

June 7, 2023 – While Tingue said “housing in early sobriety is key,” it’s only a small fraction of the organization’s overall effort in helping people overcome their battle with substance abuse by giving them purpose, unity and helping them become “who they really want to be.”

“We’re talking about your mind, body and your spirit being changed,” Tingue said. “That looks a little bit different than just not drinking and doing drugs.”

For over two decades, Tingue was gripped by alcoholism and addiction until he had an epiphany in January 2021 at a small group meeting in Chandler, where “I surrendered to the fact that I was an addict and an alcoholic.” Tingue has since celebrated over two years of sobriety.

“Let’s Go” in the nonprofit’s name derives from the idea of taking action and “moving towards something rather than sitting in the same old, same old,’” Tingue said.

Tingue said many addictions start from traumas of childhood and past relationships, something to which he is no exception.
