It was just eight months ago when I started this program.First,I decided,in my despair,that I no longer wanted to live the way I was living.Living with an alcoholic had left me devastated.I cried myself to sleep,woke up in the night filled with panic, and thought of suicide.I picked up the phone and called a crisis line,I made an appointment with a therapist and started my recovery.It has been an uphill battle,but I decided change was necessary,however frightening.I started making small changes,when I got the rewards of those it gave me the courage to keep going.I decided to go to college, and today,I am getting ready to move into my own place.I purchased a home and I am so excited and filled with wonder at how far I have come.Thank You all for being here for me.
