A meeting will be held later today for those struggling with alcohol addiction.
It’s a special 24-hour meeting at the Sons of Italy in Butler that is held so people have a place to spend time with others in an alcohol-free environment.
Ruthane Durso is the Director of Behavioral Health for Butler Health System and says this meeting is important for a lot of people.
“Sometimes people would say to me ‘Ruth I don’t know if I want to go to a 24-hour meeting,’ but then I would see them after Christmas and they would tell me they were grateful for that meeting,” Durso said. “People said it’s a warm and welcoming environment and that they weren’t sure what they were going to do with themselves.”
The meeting starts at noon and is open to the public.
