I’ve been sober for nearly 3 years since I was a cohort at Cumberland Heights. I happened to have very good health insurance which paid for everything at CH. I don’t regret CH but feel that their best attribute is the food which they really plug. Another positive attribute was my counselor, Kaitlin, who was awesome. The young men/staff members, former cohorts, who worked with us in the Auditorium, ad nauseum, were less than competent and these sessions turned into drudgery. These sessions were basically used to kill time as they had no substance. Additionally, as a member of the LGBTQ community, I felt ill at ease much of the time. My sexual orientation seemed to be so foreign to those staff members who were also in recovery, and who, at one point, bungled a group exercise, drawing attention to my sexuality in front of 60 strangers. It was just plain weird. I have suffered trauma in my life which certainly contributed to my using and drinking. My experience at CH was traumatizing. Thankfully, Kaitlin was so professional and kind that she helped me through this tough experience.
I turned 44 years old while in treatment and really thought I was too old to change. I had went so far down that I didn't believe change was even possible. I had truly given up on myself and life in genera;. Rehab didn't "give me my life back", it gave me a life I never knew was possible. I learned and continue to learn so much about myself, what makes me tick, what makes me feel good inside and proud of myself. I fell I have a gigantic ego with little to no self-esteem when I got there. In treatment, I "dried" out and were given the tools to learn how to live. How to life a life without alcohol and drugs. A life I can be content with and proud of. I can lift my head up and look folks in the eye today. No, I don't work The Program perfectly, but it's all about progress, not perfection. I have to remain honest and willing to change always. Some days the only thing I feel that I've done right, is not drink or do drugs. I make lots of mistakes but nothing even closely compared to the mistakes I used to make! I do have new life. I am a contributing member of society. I am a good person. God does have a purpose for me (somedays I'm not sure what) I don't always know what to do- but I do know what not to do and life just gets better and better~one day at a time.
