If I can do it, anyone can!”  Joe’s own life struggles and practical advice offer hope and solutions to those living amidst the turmoil of someone’s alcohol and drug abuse.   From age 13 to 29, Joe battled his own drug and alcohol addiction—finally receiving treatment. He now has over 35 years of abstinence from substances. Treatment gave him the information and structure needed to begin his journey of recovery.   Joe Herzanek is the president and founder of the Colorado non profit organization, Changing Lives Foundation. As a certified addiction professional in Colorado has spent over twenty-five years working in the criminal justice system as the Chaplain at the Boulder County Jail and  Chaplain at the Weld County Jail, Greeley, CO. Joe is the former host of Recovery Television, speaker, producer of several DVDs, including “The 10 Toughest Questions Families and Friends Ask About Addiction and Recovery” and author of the award-winning book "Why Don't They Just Quit?"   His passion is to help men and women struggling with addiction, as well as providing answers and solutions to family and friends who are searching for ways to help their loved-one begin the road to recovery.   Joe Herzanek and his wife Judy have three (adult) children, Jami, Jake, and Jessica, and enjoy the beautiful Colorado outdoors with their two Cairn Terriers, Lewis and Clark.   Joe offers words of encouragement: “Addiction is not a hopeless situation,” he writes. “Addicts and alcoholics aren’t crazy, and they can quit.”   Sign up for our FREE Changing Lives eNewsletter   If you need help NOW and just don’t know what your next steps should be, family phone counseling with Joe Herzanek is just a call away.
