When I came here 10/21/07 I knew I needed something and someone to teach me how to live life without drugs and alcohol. The world as I had perceived it to be had betrayed me. I was afraid, ignorant, untrusting, and “Godless”.

Treatment has provided a safe place for me to heal, surrounded by people just like me, lost, defeated, and exhausted. Treatment has taught me to look inward. Chipping away the wall, built ever so skillfully to shield me from the outside world. That if I really want to recover and I am willing to do the work. All I have to do is put one foot in front of the other and “keep it moving.”

Since coming into treatment “this” time I have been faced with life challenges. But because treatment has taught me to reach out, be honest, ask for help, and trust (in a HP) my God, I am able to rise above those obstacles victorious.

This is just the beginning. And what I know is this. If I continue to stick around and not stop the process my life is worth living. And I am worth the process.
