"After arriving at 2nd chance on September 7th of 2006, I tried to maintain optimism about being able to successfully function in a sober manner. But with so many failed attempts in the 30 years of my life haunting my memory, my excitement level was low. All at once I noticed the straightforward attitude of the staff and their warm confident receiving of myself that screamed nothing but success. I perceived a vibration that no matter what has occurred in the past or where I’d failed at in life, if I would just allow myself this opportunity, things would be different, and I would not fail!
"It’s been a step by step process in getting to where I am now from where I was at the beginning. At times, the only assurance I had that I was still making progress and being productive was by taking my supervisors word that I would get through it. It’s never been an easy program to follow. The idea is simple. But actually doing it is not at all a piece if cake. It takes a lot of hard work and it’s this hard effort made which requires sincere dedication and discipline. And as I continue to accomplish each step, I become more motivated to continue accomplishing what I set out to do and I am not willing to give up in exchange for the past failures or lifestyles. I am just thankful to my lord for his hand of mercy extending through the concept of this program, its staff and my fellow students to support and encourage my continued success here in the program as well as outside of the program in life. Its an ongoing success story that continues today."
