There's no doubt about it - sometimes
life just sucks!
Whether it's the loss of a
job, the struggle with an addiction, or just nameless despair, some days can feel
like the end of the world.
Here are some gift themes to help you
put together a truly unique basket.

Recovery
From the momentous
decision to quit alcohol or drugs to the emotional, physical and
spiritual issues that arise years into recovery, it's sometimes hard
to be supportive because we may have been hurt ourselves. But
when I found these books on 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversaries,
as well as general recovery, I wanted to offer a source of support
to friends supporting friends courageously taking one day at a time.

Depression
It's out there.
People are walking around with smiles on their faces and we know
they are suffering. It is what it is. Manic Depression,
Bi-polar, Anxiety, OCD. They all have a name and they all feel
desperate for the individual and for the loved ones supporting them.
