They met because of addictions, but are together, thanks to the recovery.
Together, as a couple, they are 10 years and there are two wonderful children growing up in their family. Addiction has had a significant impact on each of them individually, their children, and the people around them.
They have both sought to maintain a balance between their dependency and satisfying family needs during active addiction. It didn’t last long to maintain this balance, so control began to fade, and the consequences of dependency were beginning to undermine their newly created family. Jānis was aware that addiction was destroying his life, but Liga could not accept this reality at that time. A Union where one starts the recovery path and the other goes 180 degrees in the opposite direction – deeper into dependency – cannot exist and they parted. At a time when Līga realized she was powerless over alcohol, they both went on together on the path of recovery and resumed rebuilding their family. What's more, they started helping others. Slowly, they began to work with addicts and their families, thus helping themselves. Slowly, the idea of setting up a rehabilitation center was born. They set up this rehabilitation center being family together, learning to build new relationships and supporting others in their recovery.
