A Parent's Story >> Arriving in OC >> You Can Love Yourself >> High Expectations >> Recovery from CA to TX
"I came to Safe Harbor with high expectations,
but what I received went over and beyond anything
that I could have imagined. After being in and out
of inpatient rehabilitation centers for the past
few years, I made the decision to go to an extended
care program. When I made this decision I thought
that I would spend three months out of my life,
then I would go home, and everything would be OK.
Well, a year later I am still in California, and
still at the house when ever I get the chance. You
see the program has taught me so many valuable things.
It has given me the tools to live life not only
sober, but happy and productive. I know that now
I can go any where that I want and not be in fear,
but for now I am home. The women at Safe Harbor
surrounded me, both the treatment program and the
house are run and based on love and tolerance someone,
be it staff or another client, is always willing
and ready to hold your hand or just be that shoulder
to cry on. Not to mention all the fun times there
are, late night talks, coffee runs, meetings, the
list could go on forever. One thing that is always
true, whenever you are having to walk through something
good or bad, there is always someone there to go
through it with you. The women I have meet through
Safe Harbor House, and the program are some of the
most amazing and important individuals to me today.
I am very grateful to have had this opportunity.
It has been a life changing experience. It is definitely
one that I don't regret."
