		<title>Wind in my Sails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Charles writes: Where I have been and where I may go aren’t as important as where I am.  Right now, I am healthy and I am whole.  I was before a ship adrift with no captain at the helm, but now I am an anchored vessel with compass and captain prepared to meet any rough [...]]]></description>

		<title>Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[BC Writes: Before entering the Caritas program, my life had become unmanageable and I had begun a downward spiral into what I perceived as my own personal hell.  I felt as if my soul had died and I was lost trying to find myself in a thick everlasting fog.  I have only just started to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Courage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Denis writes: Today I am writing about how much courage it took for me to come into this program, especially at my age, being in my late 50’s.  When I first heard about this program being two-years, I couldn’t believe it!  I was very reluctant to come into the program, but I had no choice [...]]]></description>

		<title>Far Beyond Driven</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maximus writes: As a child my mother would tell me “Sometimes you have to go through hell if you want to get to heaven.” Back then I really didn’t understand what this meant.  But now that I have been through my hell, I am starting to see the light at the end of my tunnel.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Courageous Pen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frank writes: What I have gained through community living at Caritas is everything that I have lost, eventually would have lost and so much more.  Most importantly I have a better understanding of myself and who I am.  This is something which could only have been attained through community living.  We are able to view [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Way of Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scotty writes: Drugs, alcohol and gambling is what I turned to at an early age.  It robbed me from many opportunities, and took extreme positive potential away from myself.  It drained the life of those who loved me the most.   Drinking mouthwash in a homeless shelter was the end result.   I was totally desperate for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Falling Down and Getting Back up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ryan writes: I feel I fell down when I was smoking weed instead of going to school and learning.  The only thing I really learned in high school was how to sell and smoke weed.  I also learned how to cook and to drive which is about it.  I let my addiction to weed and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons in Community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jeff Writes: Being a member of the community here at Caritas has taught me many things.  I have had the opportunity to learn about myself through other people.  I’ve learned that everyone has noticeable short comings and if I focus too much on other people’s weaknesses I blind myself to the innate good-spirit that every [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trip to Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Audley writes:  The worst mistake I’ve made in my life to this day, I would have to say is to finish high school and instead of going to college for a career, I chose to go with a friend to Florida for a year, which is where my drug habit started and it so happened [...]]]></description>
