Alcohol Treatment and Recovery
Success Stories
"I feel that I had a great
win on this exercise. It is
amazing to be present and
comfortable in my
environment. I have always
hated reality and have felt
very uncomfortable and
unsafe in it until now. I
find it rewarding to notice
all the detail in my world.
I never realized how the act
of touch could bring me such
an understanding of an
object. It is one thing to
see an object but to touch
it gives me much more
understanding and
appreciation of the things
in my world. It is almost as
if the world around me has
come alive. It is great to
have a love for the world
around me. It is also
wonderful to feel that the
world is safe to be learned
from. I feel like I am
experiencing and discovering
the world around me for the
first time."

I am so glad to have come to
this place. I have
been able to start a fresh
life. I have lost several
years to alcohol and now
feel I have control over my
life. I will be able to now
begin the rest of my life. I
have met a great group of
people here that I will stay
in contact with. I have no
reservations in saying that
you guys have saved my
life

You know, I have decided
that I am very successful
and very talented and I am
awesome and now that I am
sober I can do anything that
I put my mind to and have
anything that I want. I have
total control over myself
and the sky is the limit for
me now and I no longer want
to party or go fast!

I came here in a
rather terrible condition. I
felt as though I would never
recover hope. I thought
myself a lost cause. I had
spiraled out so far I had no
idea who I was anymore and
why my life had gone to
pieces. I … felt distant and
empty when I looked inside.
I didn’t realize it at the
time but [the sauna program]
gave me a body that operated
at full speed again. My mind
became clear as it had not
been for ages.
I have never quite met a
challenge such as this. I
was opening my heart and
changing my perception in a
way that could only be
called amazing. I learned so
much about myself from doing
the simplest exercises. All
of a sudden I was on top of
the world again. I was
opening my mind to a way of
thinking that I had allowed
myself to believe that I
would never achieve. I
became in touch with my
senses and started to feel
the world around me for what
seemed like the first time.
Then continued to courses
which filled in the gaps my
life had. I now know I am in
full control of my life and
capable of existing on this
planet as a whole being.
I am forever grateful to the
staff for guiding me through
the darkest parts of my life
and never once discouraging
me. I have faced my inner
demons, shed my addiction
and completely rebuilt my
entire self. I can feel
again, see clearly again,
love again. I have
miraculously saved my life.
I hadn’t realized it until
now, but, I’m back! This
program
saved my life. I’m free. No
more addiction. I can’t
believe how far you guys
have helped me travel, how
strong you’ve taught me I
could become. I love each
and every person that has
been there for me along the
way.
I’m finally free, I love
you,

It was not my intention to
come to here. I was
happy in my own miserable
drug addiction. I knew my
life had shrunk to exclude
everything except what
existed inside my own house.
I knew deep down I would end
up dead or in rehab. But I
had no ability to help
myself [so] my family
intervened.
I was not happy. I thought
one month was enough to give
to this program. So I
thought “Just get through
the sauna,” but a curious
thing happened to me. The
sauna program began to clear
my mind and body! The course
books and staff started
making sense. As the drug
cloud lifted more clearly I
saw the logic and sense of
what was being offered and I
grabbed it wholeheartedly.
The sauna program cleaned
out my body. I felt alive
and free. My body responded
to exercise and aches and
pains vanished. My eyesight
improved. My mind thought
clearly again.
I learned how to be there
comfortably, and how to
confront and handle my
emotions.
I can go home in charge of
my life and future. No more
hiding. I am the man my wife
married. I am a person to be
reckoned with. I am free of
alcohol and drugs and am
happy to let the world know
it. I hope to educate people
at home about the program
and give them hope for
others with damaged lives.
Most of all, this program has
helped me. My life is saved
but it's even better, all the
lives I touch will be better
off because I am better.
This program helps more than the
individual – it helps heal
everyone around that person.
I returned home with all the
tools I need to cope and
succeed in life. I am a very
lucky man. I got everything
back, including parts of me
I didn’t even know I’d lost.
It worked for me!
I love you all,
PJ
I had pictures [in my mind]
of my childhood to when I was a
adult. It was like picture reels of
movies that had missing sections
that have been put back in and
played over to me in my head. Some
were good and some were bad but most
were good, but it all did a lot for
me because this means my mind is
clean of all the drugs and alcohol.
I feel great and life is fun again.
I looked in the mirror and saw my
face and noticed a few new wrinkles;
the ones I didn’t have for a long
time. They were wrinkles from
smiling :) a lot. It feels great
feeling this way again.
