It’s hard for me to put into words the gratitude I have. I was a broken woman strung out on crack cocaine and an alcoholic. I would stay awake for a week at a time, using around the clock. I would pick my children up from school loaded, endangering us all. Hiding and lying about my problem from my husband and all who cared about me. I did not know what was up from down. I was in total flight from reality.
A friend saw that I was out of control, and told me about a place that he went through. A place called Milestones. I did not decide to go right away. I was on my bathroom floor after being awake for several days, hitting the crack pipe. I heard a voice say that “you are going to die.” I called my parents asking for help. I had of moment of clarity. Two days later I checked into Milestones.
Milestones gave me tools on how to live life sober and clean. Through self-talk I came to change the way I was thinking. The program taught me more about myself, and who I truly am. The staff in a very loving way showed me the truth, about me. Through the group and personal therapy I was given new ways of dealing with the issues that I had no idea how to handle. Milestones helped get my life back.
I have over a year sober now and my life is completely different. I am not the same woman today. I have a truly wonderful life.
Thank you so much for everything!
