Methadone
Treatment For Addiction
A Light at the end of the tunnel.
The Clinic Has
Saved My Life
I just want to say that the clinic has saved my life. Before I used to sit
and think about “when I get better” and “when I am o.k.” but
there was no hope or help in sight. I couldn’t imagine how to do it but
now I have a second chance and a chance to have a life. Now there is hope.
There is help.
When I first started the clinic I was like everyone else. I wanted a way to
get my fix every day without having to go through the everyday hassles addicts
go through. I wasn’t thinking about a different way of life. But when
I went to my intake visit and all the nurses and counselors were talking about
help and changing my life I realized this wasn’t just a place to go and
get my dope every day. This place and the staff in it were offering me help
and all I had to do was take it and obey a few simple rules. And these rules
are not too much to ask for someone saving your life. So I thought I’d
better take this chance now because it might never come along again. I decided
to take the program seriously and try.
I have done great. Yes, it is hard in the beginning getting up early every
day, the drive out there but after the 2nd week I could see a difference and
so could my family. And I have never been happier to be a mom. It was good
to get up early and start my day with my kids on my mind and not on where I
was going to get high. Do you know how hard it is to admit that to yourself?
Most addicts can’t because that would mean they had a problem. Well,
all I can say if you have been lucky enough to be able to attend the clinic,
then do it right. Take the chance you have been offered to get better and don’t
waste it.
Now I’m not saying that I’m better because addiction is a life
long battle. Now I have hope and a chance to have a life to be a mom and a
daughter, granddaughter, sister and friend - a chance to be the old-new me
before addiction and drug use. So I want to say thanks to the staff of the
Walker Recovery Center for my life.
