PeaceLove Foundation helps people create peace of mind. Through expressive arts programs and storytelling, we empower individuals and communities to share their mental health stories and discover new tools for wellness.
PeaceLove Foundation began when Co-founder Jeff Sparr, decided to try his hand at painting. He found painting subdued the symptoms of his OCD, providing a creative outlet and sense of control. This discovery changed his life, and he wanted to share it with the world.
PeaceLove programming strives to help people find their voice, make meaningful connections, and discover new ways to care for their mental health. Our Scribl workshops provide an easy, low-pressure way to unwind through simple creative activities. Our annual Peace of Mind Storytellers event brings together leaders in the mental wellness space to share their stories and the work they are doing to help create peace of mind in the world.

I work in drug rehab. If you’re willing, I’d like to speak with you and ask you some questions.
Listing to Abbie made a difference in my life. About saying on a continuous run of doing good. N a positive way. Help self so u can help someone else. Recovery First. God is Good.
I relapsed and now am 2nd day sober....i was 1 month sober ..this time i am letting Jesus lead me through it ....ive tried to be sober for 5 yrs now ....i cant do it on my own ..
Where he said I wish I could sit in my friends basement and be happy with who I was that hit me so hard. I’ve been addicted to heroin and fentanyl for 13 years. I just relapsed after 2 years for the 100th time. I feel so defeated but I won’t give up. I’ve got 17 days today. Chris’s story gives me hope.
I have 12 years sober and your story is absolutely beautiful
Oh my goodness, poor baby
I listen to him when i was badly addicted to cocaine. It was from my 15 to 21 years old. Too much money and everything so i can use it. I was depressed and everything i want was to end this hell. Paranoia, depression, suicidial thoughts. Today i am sober for 2.5years . I go to teen challenge programe on 17.12.2021 when i lost everthing. Thank god im listening to him again, clean. Love you and life❤❤ i move and live by the center where i heal. Will stay here for life. Love you chris.
SPOILER ALERT: I knew straight from the jump he was gonna tell how he screwed up again at his kids birth. The addiction makes you do THEE MOST messed up shit you would never imagine yourself doing, yet here you are doing it. The key is to not beat yourself up about it. We all have the same story. You have to shake it off and get up again. You HAVE TO.
2 Corinthians 12:9-11 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
What's rather idiotic, is that people say they're 'in recovery,' yet then say, that you can never be recovered--so then what is the point of saying you're 'in' something, that is supposedly never achievable?
I love this video!!! Thank you for sharing your story Chris! 7 days sober, all we have is 1 day at a time ☺️
2 months 15 days, sober after 365 days I will stop counting not because I want to forget but because I won’t forget.
I don't know why I haven't seen this. But our story is very similar. Long story short. I didn't make it for the birth. But on the other hand. Her and I turn 5 years June 16.. it's been a journey so I can really relate to you. Thanks for making this. You inspire me to do a story on KZread . Thanks again!!!!!
differnt tho when you have kno money or friends to get you in rehab, or children to live for
Amazing
This is the most moving testimony I’ve ever watched. I sobbed. I will save this and send to others that are struggling. This is just ‘wow’. Chris, thank you for sharing your journey 💙
Nice testimony

Addiction is subtraction which creates multiple divisions
That hit hard, 16 months into my journey and that's one of the best shares I've come across. ❤

This really is some guy, been battling addiction for years and I know this guy will save many lives ❤
This is My third time around having the 1year clean from alcohol and drugs. However, today I have 1yr clean without cigarettes. Blessed just to have the one day.
Nobody Considers Weed a Hard Drug (Except maybe the clueless+Sadistic that keep it in the company of crack, heroin+Fentanyl) But it's Been my F' Downfall for 46 yrs. Can't even Find Help From it because of the View (Not that Clown show) without going into Details that Cannabis Cloud has followed me like the Dust from Pigpen (the peanuts character, not Dead member) l Guess a Person Could get ADDICTED to Just About Anything, But with Most Detriments you can usually be aware of the damage, the Dissipation. But with the insidious plant that Anesthetizes you numb it's very Subtle+ Cloaks itself in False Contentment. Booz has it's Antabuse which can Make you very Sick+ Can Even KILL you if you Drink while on it, but grass has Nothing like that or I'd be on it!
I want to buy a Herren jersey!! You hit home Sir, thanks
I'm actually working on becoming an #addictionpeerspecialist here in western Kentucky. I really want to help my fellow addicts so they know there is hope for them as there is for me!
