Lithuanian's 12 steps to victory
Posted by Lithuania - 02/03/2007
The centre organising the Lithuanian Team uses the 12-step program to help people defeat their addictions while support is also provided for the families of addicts.
Many staff are former clients who have successfully completed their rehabilitation. The players in the Lithuanian team have all battled alcohol or drug dependency. Some have experience of amateur football, others are complete novices. The “Feniksas” football team is a keyway of facilitating the players’ recovery from their addictions.
The Lithuanian side joined the first Russian national championships in 2006 where they stole the show and captured the title. We wish all the players well on their steps to further victories.
