Joe Nichols Offers Cyber Hope For the Addicted - A Top Story This Week
10/29/2009
.
Joe Nichols Offers Cyber Hope For the Addicted was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (PR) Joe Nichols has partnered with TheHopeLine in creating a website designed to help people who are struggling with addictions (www.anoldfriendofmine.com). The partnership came about when Dave Anderson, TheHopeLine's director of rescue, saw Nichols' music video for "An Old Friend Of Mine." Both the song and video honestly depict the battle with substance abuse, and the song is the closing track on Nichols' upcoming CD release, Old Things New."Partnering with Joe Nichols to help people struggling with addictions is very exciting," Anderson said. "Those struggling need to understand there is hope and TheHopeLine wants to help reach, rescue and restore them as they begin their journey to recovery. We are hopeful Joe's effort will encourage other mainstream artists to consider how they might help their fans, and others, who might be struggling with difficulty in their life." TheHopeLine will make a HopeCoach available to moderate the chat room on Thursdays from 7pm to 9pm (ET) for an entire month, beginning this week. The goal is to help individuals find help and hope in a moment of need. While the song isn't the artist's single, the lyrics are so compelling, Nichols knew a certain spotlight had to be placed on "An Old Friend Of Mine." Having struggled with addiction issues himself, it was a song he could relate to. Taking it a step further to partner with TheHopeLine meant he could possibly help others with their own struggles. - more on this story
