I didn’t know up from down

“A huge part of me getting to this point is because of Freedom House. When I first got sober I didn’t know up from down. I had a dependency on drugs and alcohol and didn’t know how to be a productive member of society, or do anything at all when it came to society. The only skills I had was doing what I had to do to make sure I had my next fix…I was unemployable, with no I.D, homeless and helpless. It was Freedom House, who piled us all in a van to get our I.D’s, an SS Card, take us to the welfare office, who set me up for success and walked by my side as I put one foot in front of the other, just like the people who work there did before me. I’m forever grateful for their people who don’t just ‘know’ where addiction can lead but have gone through my exact ‘experience’, they had been where I had been in some form or another, and completely changed their way of life, and now teach others to do the same”

Saved my life

“My Freedom House experience saved my life. When I finally let go of my old behavior and learned to trust the process my life has immensely changed for the better. Freedom House helped show me that if I did not stay connected, meetings, get a sponsor all the lings, I was destined to fail. When life gets rough, going back out is NOT the answer. When life gets rough that is the time to dive in deper into my recovery…Today…I have the life I’ve always dreamed of, a life in long term recovery.”

A huge blessing

Freedom House has been a huge blessing in a time of need for me. I had relapsed and ended myself in a sticky situation, and I asked for help. I have been able to overcome so many obstacles while I was in treatment and after I graduated. They have treated me like family since day one, and have been there for me during every bump in the road and curveball that has come my way. Everything from groups to one on ones, and all the way to the women’s sober living house, was all a great experience and an amazing environment to learn and grow in. I learned so much during my time at Freedom House and was treated like I was worthy of another chance. I will always be grateful for everyone at Freedom House who has helped me along my way, and I know that they have helped me lay a solid foundation for my journey on the path of recovery.
