BEING THAT I\'M 46 YEARS OLD, 22 YEARS IN ACTIVE ADDICTION, BEEN IN RESIDENTIAL REHAB 4 TIMES, AND I.O.P. 7 TIMES I NEEDED SOMETHING TO SINK IN PLUS FIND A POWER GREATER THAN MYSELF TO BRING ME BACK TO SANITY BECAUSE MY NEXT STEP WAS IN JAIL, IN AN INSTITUTION, AND OR DEATH. YOU WOULD THINK REHAB OF ANY SORT WOULD HAVE PUT ME ON TRACK BY NOW. AND BELIEVE ME I DON\'T HAVE ANYTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT A NEW ENTRY, OAKSPRINGS I.O.P., AND OR CHRISTIAN FARMS TREE HOUSE BECAUSE ALL OF THEM HAVE A PART IN MY LONG JOURNEY BUT IT WASN\'T UNTIL I BECAME A CLIENT AT RECOVERY UNPLUGGED THAT I WAS INTRODUCED TO A MIND BLOWING APPROACH TO RECOVERY THAT HAS ME WRITING A REVIEW THAT I JUST DON\'T DO. IT\'S JUST THAT RECOVERY UNPLUGGED IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME HAS GIVEN ME MY LOVE FOR MYSELF BACK PLUS THE WILLINGNESS TO WORK THE 12 STEPS, CALL MY SPONSOR, VOLUNTEER WORK, AND GIVING BACK. AND THE CONCEPT OF ME DOING IT FOR ME AND ME ONLY MAKES IT THAT MUCH BETTER BECAUSE A HEALTHY ADDICT/ALCOHOLIC MAKES AN OVERALL HEALTHY INDIVIDUAL WHO WILL ADD TO THE PUZZLE WHEN IT COMES TO HELPING OTHER\'S GET ON THE SOBER TRACK. SOBRIETY FOR AN ADDICT IS A LIFELONG FIGHT AND BECAUSE OF RECOVERY UNPLUGGED IT\'S A FIGHT THAT I\'M PREPARED FOR WITH REINFORCEMENTS BACKING ME UP. IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW HAS A LOVED ONE STRUGGLING AND DON\'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN GO BACK AND READ THIS AGAIN AND GIVE THEM A CALL AND I WANT TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO TELL YOU WELCOME TO THE FAMILY.
