With the help of the people and services that Hope for Tomorrow has to offer me, I now have a new sense of being. I have re-connected with my family, been able to maintain my finances, face my problems, and most importantly, stay sober. Before I came to Hope for Tomorrow, I didn’t know how to live without the use of drugs and alcohol. Today, I look back, and can’t comprehend how I managed to live with them. All the heartache that I have caused myself and everyone that I have came into contact with is phenomenal. Instead of causing pain, anguish, distrust, disrespect, and turmoil, I now bring love, compassion, trust, respect, and a helping hand to the table wherever I go. I have a new relationship with myself today.

I truly believe that I was looking to be accepted in this world when I turned to alcohol and drugs. As soon as I started to use and drink, I found myself around lots of people. I enjoyed the feeling of acceptance, and I continued to use. When difficult times arose, and I had nothing to offer, I found myself with only myself for company. Everyone that I believed cared about me was gone because I had nothing to offer, or they had nothing to offer me. I knew at that moment that I needed help. Today, the company that I have is people who share a common story with me, and the friendships I have today are without selfishness. I just want to thank Hope for Tomorrow for giving me this new outlook on life, and every tool that I could ever ask for to maintain my sobriety.

Although I am a new member of Hope for Tomorrow and only been here two months, this is not my first time through treatment. Coming to Hope for Tomorrow after a relapse, my spirituality and self-esteem were at an all-time-low. I was accepted by the men of Hope for Tomorrow and not judged. Without the love and acceptance that they have given me, I would not have been able to love and accept myself. Since living here, I have been able to work on my twelve-step program and my relationship with God. I am also re-connecting with family and friends and building a new family here. They are all saving my life today, possibly without knowledge of it even happening. I am forever grateful to the men of Hope for Tomorrow and my higher power for getting me here.
