This Program Gave Me Myself Back

In reflecting on my time here, it is both surprising and exciting to see the degree that I have changed and grown through this program. I arrived here a paranoid nervous wreck, with my attention span and memory destroyed by my smoking. I paid my health and well-being very little mind and was only starting to realize how much of an idiot I had been to those around and close to me. I was living almost seemingly half of my time in the past.

Through Withdrawal and sauna, I regained my sharpness of mind and physical fitness that I had once known. More and more, I felt that I was seeing myself again when I looked in the mirror. I was feeling happier and healthier with each passing day. In doing Objectives I was able to work through boredom and frustration, emotions I struggled with beforehand. I continued to interestingly direct my attention outwards, feeling present, and despite the days being long, this is something that I would have had trouble accomplishing before my time here.

In Life Skills and the ethics training, I was able to reflect upon my life and really ponder the circumstances that led me to where I was and why I was using drugs. I found relief from my past mistakes and transgressions against others and am now able to move on, not living nearly as much as I did before.

“I leave here now at the end of my program equipped with tools to succeed and secure in the knowledge that this will have been my first and last time in a rehab facility.”

This program gave me myself back. I was lost before coming here and was not aware of how bad I was until I had to confront it while being here and looking back at how I was living. I leave here now at the end of my program equipped with tools to succeed and secure in the knowledge that this will have been my first and last time in a rehab facility.
