Life Transformations…reflect on where I would be at or who I could have become if I would have had this program injected into my life 37 years ago! I am a 49 year old addict. I have never received treatment or any counseling to deal with my appetite for drugs and this lifestyle that put me here behind bars for the rest of my life.
If this program would have been introduced to me from the first time that I used drugs I would have been saved from this lifetime of destruction. It breaks my heart that I cause so many other people that have crossed my path thru out my lifetime so much pain.
I have hit rock bottom plenty of times. I even pulled out a shovel and have dug a hole beyond rock bottom.
I’m still new to this MAT program but I know there is a difference happening in my thoughts and actions since I have started following the doctor’s orders and talking to the staff here. I know I have a long way to go. I’m still at war with this monstrous addiction that is in me.
All I want to say is Thank You, thank you for making me feel that there is hope and that life is worth it man! I don’t know what I have to offer or where my life is heading to but today for the first time in 37 years I can shout out to the stars I’ve been clean & sober for 45 days.

Appreciation
Well since I’m not too good with words and with verbally explaining my sentiments towards others. I decided to sit down and write to you this letter of appreciation for blessing me with the tools that I needed in order to combat the war that’s been within me all these years. And sadly I had lost that war time after time throughout most of my teen and adult life.

Hope
There’s a future out there that’s mine to be made, I’ve learned
to love myself and am capable of loving others. I’m no longer
afraid to live. I want to thank you for everything this program
has done. I share this with so many others and tell them what
lies ahead when on this program. Thank you.

Mission Accomplished
So I just wanted to say that if this program was designed and intended to save
lives mission accomplished. With my disease being treated so well, there’s no
doubt in my heart or head that I’m going to make it. No matter how bad things
get, and I know they will, I’m going to be okay. The demon that destroyed me is
being dealt with. So if you’ve ever wanted to make a difference in this world, in
somebody’s life, you have.
