Read MoreThis week, Harborfields was given the opportunity to listen in on an assembly from three members of the group titled “Upside.” They are titled “Upside” because they like to focus on the positive things that came out of their addictions such as pushing past old problems and meeting each other, rather than the negative sides. While this topic is a hard thing to talk about, it was incredible to see how they were able to overcome their addictions and stay motivated and stay true to their group.
