Here is a wonderful story.
Suncoast Rehab Center addresses a mother’s alcohol addiction and saves her from a life of uncontrollable drinking and possible early death due to alcohol related causes such as an accident, alcohol poisoning or another seizure. Upon completing the Narconon long term residential program delivered at Suncoast Rehab, Julie M. returned home to her son who now has restored his faith in her.
Julie tells her story:
“I really wanted to quit drinking, and had made many sincere attempts to do so, but sooner or later I would drink again…my history includes several detoxes and stays in rehabs, therapy, participation in AA, all done with the hope of getting and remaining sober.”“By the time I got to SRC I was already thinking insanely. I would often think “if only I could sober up, and get the house fully cleaned, then I can die.” My concern was that after I died my mother-in-law would come to clean out the house I live in with my son and husband, of all my belongings and then would discover my secret, that my bedroom was a huge mess. Sounds crazy right! I sure was.”
“Today, thankfully to the excellent staff and the program of study that is taught at Suncoast Rehab Center, I think with much better reasoning skills,” says Julie. “While at Suncoast Rehab Center, I was given the necessary help and guidance to start repairing the two most important relationships in my life: my relationship with my son, and my relationship with myself. Due to my horrible behavior while drunk, I was ruining my relationship with my son. He was losing any faith he had left in me, with each relapse;” says Julie.
As Julie continued her sobriety her son regained his faith in her and he sent her a birthday card in June with these words, “Dear Mom, I am so proud of how far you have come over the last year, not just in terms of your sobriety, but as a person too. And I am so happy to have you back. Love, Bobby”
Later, after her graduation from the program, Julie’s husband started a vicious argument, full of threats, and then came home from an overnight trip with a cooler of vodka and beer, and continued to yell at her. “Had I not learned the information contained in the Life Skills Course, Ups & Downs in Life Course, I believe I definitely would have gotten drunk.” Julie did not start drinking and is still sober.
“These days I like myself more. I’m thinking clearer. I have hope again for my future! Now I am happy. I want to thank you and everyone else at Suncoast Rehab Center for teaching me all that you did, you truly have saved my life,” concludes Julie.
Julie could have lost her son forever and ended up alone or in an early grave. Instead, today she is living a productive, sober life free of alcohol.
