SINNISSIPPI CENTERS' RECOVERY FOR LIFE
Making a Real Difference
Recovery for Life is about making a real difference in the lives of those who have struggled with their addiction and substance use issues. By offering crucial support to recovery and by coordinating supports, Recovery for Life is able to offer the best change of recovery to individuals. This is one of many stories of how lives are being impacted.
"I've tried to recover from alcohol and drugs for the past 30 years. In those years I've graduated from nine treatment facilities. I found myself homeless and unemployable. I've been arrested, beaten up and robbed, often left for dead. My whole way of life was centered on drugs in one form or another…In these years of trying to recover I could only stay clean and sober for a few months, then would fall. I would return to my addiction worse than the time before…My wife gave me a choice: the drugs or her. I reluctantly said I would go and talk with someone…The day was November 7th, 2010; my first day clean and sober once again. I had no hope that it would be any different this time. I would eventually fall, just give it time…I was introduced to my I.O.P. group (Intensive Outpatient Program)…..[and was] quickly diagnosed [with a mental illness]…[I was] prescribed medication for my Bipolar…Small successes eventually started to give me hope. In the fourth week of group I was introduced to my Recovery Specialist…Today I…[continue to be] clean and sober. Thanks to God, family, the 12 steps and Sinnissippi Centers Recovery for Life…My wife has a husband who is clean and sober; she is very happy. I am living and enjoying life without the use of drugs or alcohol!"
