We recently received a letter from one of our outpatient clients...
"When I came to Heartview, I was broke, homeless, and had lost all faith in everything. I kept coming back one day at a time using the serenity prayer. Then week 5/6 things started to slowly come around and I started feeling better about me and life. I was really struggling, not to stay sober this time, but to stay alive, I had been at war with my mind. I couldn’t see any of my children, no driver’s license, no place to wash clothes, was sleeping in the back of a garage, lots of my inner feelings I didn’t elaborate on cause I was afraid of being put in a psychiatric ward."
"But I couldn’t ask for a better group and counselor greeted me with a warm smile. I was not ready for all of the positivity from so many people who treated me as a friend, I am so blessed for the way it has all played out. I was full of anger and hate at the start but pulled 1 demon at a time til I had handled them. As I stand here, it’s time to be thankful that this experience would not have been possible for me anywhere else or with anyone else. I can’t express my gratitude and the happiness and total change of mind."
