I came in with anger, frustration and a really big want to die. Even the first night I didn’t talk to anyone. I came in on New Year’s night, sober and went straight to bed with anger. Jan. 1 became my first day of sobriety. I was tired and still angry. But what I realized was that it was the first time I woke up in the New Year sober. And it made me feel a sense of freedom. Then that started a thought that I might be able to beat my addictions. Freedom is better than a hangover. That only leads to more and more of the vicious cycle that I know I couldn’t stop on my own. Now I am halfway through the program. I have started to find myself again. I realize that people do care for me and all my actions affected all the people I love. This program has shown me that I can not only stop my substance abuse, but actually learn how to feel and love. Also this program provides more help than I could ever need. They go the extra mile and pamper your whole body with massages, pedicures, hair cuts and yoga. As time goes on the more clarity and peace of mind you get. Then you start to open up and make sober friends. But the most important thing I have learned is that there is no secret ingredient to yourself. It’s just you that make you, you.
Pros: supportive environment, driven employee's, overall excellent
