My Alcohol addiction was serious and that is why I came to a Christian alcohol treatment center

I want to begin my letter by saying thank you to each and every member of your staff of caring, loving professionals. My name is Jessica and I felt compelled to write a thank you letter because without you, I know my alcohol addiction would still be going on, even now. Your alcohol treatment center is responsible for showing me that I could overcome my addiction and reaffirmed my choice that your facility was the right place for me to be.

I began drinking when I was about 14 years old, sneaking drinks from my parents stash of wine and spirits was a favorite pastime. My friends and I used to dare each other to see who could drink the most, we had no idea what we were setting ourselves up for, and we thought it was fun. When I entered high school, I admittedly fell in with the wrong crowd, the partiers and drinkers. The drinking escalated and I took many foolish chances in my youth, I realize now it was just the beginning of my dark and downward spiral in alcohol addiction. I would have never thought I would need an alcohol treatment center to help me beat alcoholism, because I lived in a world cloaked in lies and denial.

When I was deeply into drinking, I neglected my family, my friends, my job, my responsibilities and everything else important. I was consumed by cravings and all I wanted to do was drink. I drank to numb myself and get over feelings of inadequacy, whether real or imagined. I drank as an excuse to forget about life and just escape everyday stress. Most often, I didn’t even need a reason, I simply drank to the point of passing out and blacking out, for lack of motivation to do anything else.

I decided after many years of destruction, I was ready to stop drinking. I was not healthy and felt sick all of the time, I realized the alcohol was affecting every aspect of my life in a negative way and it needed to stop. The turning point came for me when my family threatened to turn their back on me, they told me that if I didn’t get help they weren’t prepared to watch me drink myself to death. I realized then that I truly need to get the help of an alcohol treatment center, or I would lose everyone I loved most in the world.

When I decided to seek treatment, Transformations Treatment Center was the obvious choice. I decided a faith-based program would work best for me and allow me to receive some much need spiritual and emotional recharging. Once I entered the facility, the staff, counselors and therapists treated me with the utmost respect and dignity. I was given the help and support I needed to successfully deal with my alcohol addiction. Group prayer meetings and church sessions gave me something to look forward to as I battled back from the brink of destruction.

Thank you Transformations, you gave me the encouragement I needed to take back control and transform my life. With your help and God’s divine intervention I learned how to get my life on a healthy and meaningful path. I can now say I am more committed than ever before to staying sober and walking on the path God has intended for me, none of which would have been possible without your help.
