Like all good little entrepreneurs, I go to lots of networking events around Austin, Texas where we all talk about the latest and greats projects we are working on. When I talk about SoberHood, I get a very different response for people. May pull me aside and talk to me about their sister who is hooked on crack that they have not see in years, their uncle the vet who is drinking his life away in a travel trailer, or their mother who is addicted to pain pills. They tell these stories in a flat, quiet voice with exhausted emotion and a 'deer in the head lights' look developed from years frustration that has turned into a feeling of helplessness.

They all thank me for taking on SoberHood and I realize that for every addict we help, we are really helping rings of loved ones around them.
