What is People Helping People?   

It's a radio program about addictions

ADDICTIONS ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST GROWING PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD TODAY!

Alcohol and drugs are the addictions most easily recognized everyday... But, Gambling, Eating Disorders, Internet, and Sexual addictions also make up a substantial problem!

People can be addicted to the Stock Market: Hanging on the next quote...

Just as they can be terrified by the world outside and housebound by Agoraphobia!

Hosted by Mark Elliot, People Helping People is a nightly openline radio talkshow that connects people with problems, with people who have solutions!

Who doesn't know somebody with a drinking or drug problem?

 Addicts, and alcoholics listen because it speaks to them in their own language!

"...an outlet for riveting radio in its weeknight hour at 11 p.m. Elliot provides blunt first-person insights about vices in a fashion that's far removed from the Stuart Smalley 12-step style".

Each show begins with Elliot’s trademark:

‘My name is Mark: I’m a drug addict and an alcoholic.’
Mark recognizes that drugs destroyed his professional success and personal life. He attempted suicide several times. Two marriages ended. His liver was failing. He hated himself. Today he is recovering using a 12 step recovery program and discovering that life offers more than he ever thought possible while he was on drugs.

The first principle in recovery from any addiction is that
YOU
have to want to recover!

People Helping People is about the value of one person talking to another. 

No one has to recover alone!

Mark and his callers speak as addicts and alcoholics about problems that happen, not only in the lives of addicted persons, but also to those around them.

It’s estimated that every addict affects the lives of at least ten others around them!

People Helping People has become a daily radio lifeline for thousands of people caught in all types of addictions and it’s also a touchstone for everyday people and recovering addicts alike.

"Mark Elliot's radio program churns up a maelstrom of emotional and personal issues surrounding people affected by addiction. No matter the addiction, this Web site and the accompanying show deal with it in a refreshingly unique and supportive way"
