I had given up all hope- It was too late for me in my mind.  I’d tried other avenues of recovering from chronic alcohol addiction, including a rehab center just a couple of weeks prior to coming here to A Forever Recovery.

My wife discovered A Forever Recovery by accident while she was on a website that directed her to AFR’s website.  Thank God she had not given up hope for me.  She convinced me that A Forever Recovery was different from what I had already tried- it was my last chance and I was ready to give up.  I came in here a broken man, but I can truthfully say that today, I leave here as one whole person with hopes, dreams, and the fulfillment of promises.  I am reborn, I have a new life.

The program here at AFR includes Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) and an exhaustive personal inventory of over 280 questions- it was certainly not easy to complete, but it has raised my awareness of who I am and how to deal with life on life’s terms.  I now realize and can accept attributes of myself such as being a perfectionist, but now I am aware of and accept the fact that I have limitations.

I have a renewed interest in an exercise regimen which includes weight lifting and yoga.  Exercise is now a permanent part of my life, and I feel good.  Life on this earth is certainly not simple, but I welcome the challenge and know I can do it with the resources made available to me.
