“I needed to get away from the craziness. “
That’s how one woman described her life when it was bound up in addiction. When she thinks about how she used to spend her days – always being drunk, spending all her money on her addiction, never talking to anyone, and rarely leaving her apartment. She said she would sit there in the dark and feel the darkness of her life.
But one day she chose to walk away from the craziness. She came to the Center for Women and Children and began reclaiming her sanity as she entered the Addiction Recovery Program called Higher Ground.
She is beginning to learn what it means to walk in sobriety, and has been clean for about 4 months. With her head clear, she often tells the staff “thank you” for this program. Her hope for a new life is becoming a reality day by day.
Thanks for supporting Wheeler so we can offer programs for people who are struggling with life. We truly appreciate it.
