Here are excerpts from a client’s email, illustrating the changes that sometimes occur after clients get into recovery.
“I just wanted to drop you a line to express my gratitude and thankfulness for TLC and what you have allowed me to do. I am now clean and sober for 7 months, after a lifetime of drug use (I believe I have shared with you that I was born a heroin baby, given drugs as a child, then chose drugs as I grew up).
I have found a new calling while at TLC, I enjoy working with others in recovery, I have completed the work and am now a State Certified Peer Support Specialist, something I don't believe I would've done without TLC's help and support. I am currently seeking my first job in the field. The experience I have gained while at TLC will definitely help in that.
I also want to express my thanks for you guys not giving up on me and my journey, even though I know I have made mistakes. I will learn the lessons and move on. In short, I have been able to accomplish in the 7 months I have been here what I couldn't manage to do in the seventeen years I was in recovery before I got here.
There have been some mistakes, challenges and hard blows. But, the program, the fellowship, and most of all my reliance on GOD have given me the tools and grace to deal with these things without drinking or using. I take nothing for granted and ask for one day at a time. I am truly grateful for my recovery.
Again Thank You and TLC”
