I was admitted to The Watershed in 2008. When I first arrived at The Watershed, I was scared, nervous and terrified. So many people at the Watershed played a huge part in my recovery. Never in my life, would I have thought that I could do this. My children smile to be with me, my family trusts me, I got my job back, I am looking at other career opportunities, and I have my life back.
I know that I have put in a lot of hard work. The staff at The Watershed had to put in a lot of hard work to deal with me, or should I say, to teach me how to deal with myself. The staff is wonderful and caring. The facilities are beautiful. The food was wonderful.
I think of The Watershed fondly. Many people do not think that way of a rehab that they attended. But I know that I had some great memories with great people that I met there. I formed some wonderful friendships with other patients and keep in touch with them still. And I also know that is where I found myself.
I grew at the Watershed and I became an adult who found that she loves her life. I am slowly getting to know the “real” me and I actually like it.
I owe my sanity to The Watershed.
