It’s an amazing thing to know that my son is truly living his life for the first time in 11 years. My son was addicted to crack cocaine for 11 years and it was a pretty rough 11 years for all of our family. It’s hell to have someone you love addicted to drugs. You try to help them but nothing you do really seems to help. You send them to rehab only to have them start using again. You know in your head that you are doing everything you can to help them but in your heart, it always feels like you could do more. For 11 years my son was in and out of rehab and jail and it’s awful to watch and awful to go through. I was always hopeful when my son went to rehab and always relieved when he was in jail. Hopeful when he was in rehab because maybe this time it would be different and he would be able to stay clean. Relieved when he was in jail because for the length of time that he was in jail I knew that he was at least marginally safer. I knew that he was eating and that he was sleeping and that he would be a least a little bit healthier when he got out. When he went to A Forever Recovery he was truly ready to get the help he needed to overcome his addiction. A Forever Recovery was so much different than the previous rehabs he had been to. The building and the property are beautiful. While my son was at A Forever Recovery he had a sort of serenity to him that wasn’t present at any other rehab. He liked the program he was doing and he especially liked the people. He felt that the people working at AFR truly understood him and what he was going through. So, when a counselor or someone said they wanted to help him and they understood what he was going through it didn’t immediately put his back up. He was more willing to listen and learn at AFR and that made such a big difference with his recovery. He went to AFR 8 months ago and has been home for 6 months. He’s been clean before. Was actually clean for an entire year at one point. It’s so much different this time though. It isn’t just that he’s not using drugs. It’s that as a person he’s changed so much. He’s become a really caring person. He and his father have had a much more strained relationship than he and I had and he’s taking action to fix that relationship. When my son went to AFR I expected it to a place much like the other rehabs he has gone to. I wanted him to get the help he needed to overcome his addiction I just wasn’t sure that help existed. AFR is like no other rehab though. It was the only place my son felt like he could be himself and get the help he needed. It was also the first place where I felt like my son was a priority to the staff.
I thank you all for your many gifts of kindness you have shared with me these past several weeks at BRS. Sober now for 54 days after drinking for almost fifty years A bit of each of you will be with me in my heart and soul for the rest of my life. Thank you to those who saw me through detox, who kept me safe, who fed me and took care of my health. Thank you for your counsel, for your help in my search for after recovery support. And thank you to my guides who have lead me from the arid desert of addiction to a new land of joy, of sobriety and of inner peace. Thanks to my maker who knew that it was the right time, whose voice I finally heeded. The world can be a dark place and we, in our addiction, believe the toxic poisons we put into our bodies will shed a light to our path. We then discover we are wrong but because of a powerful voice deep inside, continue our journey to the abyss of our own personal hell, dragging all we treasure with us. As if drowning we raise our arms upward, seeking help but feeling no one there. Alone we descend further, expecting each breath to be our last. By the grace of God we feel a hand touch ours, softly at first and then with a mighty grasp. We are pulled upward to a light much brighter than any we have ever imagined before. It is the light of hope, the light of another chance. The choice is now ours. BRS has provided the hand, provided the SMART tools we need for a clean life, a life of gratitude, a life of humbleness, a life of balance and a life of respect for others and ourselves. Let each of us prove to ourselves and those around us that this second chance for a sober and productive life is indeed worth the effort and our thanks. Here is a verse from Joshua I have probably repeated hundreds of times while here and will perhaps lend comfort to you Have I not commanded you? Be strong! Be courageous! Do not be afraid! Do not be discouraged! For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go Special thanks to the facilitators who are so filled with the passion to help us, just as they were helped with their own addictions. As they said so often, blow out the candles on your pity party cake, quit thinking you're not as bad as someone else- YET- and do something for those who love you and most importantly- the person you will again love the mostyourself. The toughest words we can say are "I NEED HELP" This is the place to go. Thank you BRS for helping me help me!
The facility is very caring for the improvement for the recovery of your addiction.
