I can't believe I am even writing this letter but my sponsor urged me to. I need to tell you that if it wasn't for the Freedom Rings program I never would have stayed in treatment. The staff and other patients provided me with unconditional love which made it easier for me to come out and my parents to accept my sexuality. Special thanks to Christie.

Well I went into treatment kicking and screaming. I didn't want to be there but behind all this acting out, I was just plain scared. I just couldn't imagine a life without drugs or alcohol. Today I can't imagine going back to it.

I'm not sure I can get across how grateful I am to Priscilla, my therapist. She helped me deal with a past that stole everything from me. Today my relationship with my family is great and I am accomplishing things I never thought possible. Never give up on yourself.
