Thank you for choosing New Life Recovery Program. Be prepared to take a real look at you and what it is that you truly want ....
Please allow me to take a second to tell you a little bit about me, why we are here and where we are going.
First off..... My name is Carla C and I am an alcoholic and addict..... Man I used to hate saying that.... "I" couldn't be an addict; not me (yeah right)..... Truth is I had become something that I never wanted to be. I could not stay sober for the life of me.... 4 rehabs (out-patient and live-in) jail; prison; I even lost my family and I still couldn't stay sober.
Until that one evening ... I just couldn't take it any more ... I didn't want to drink (but I did) I didn't want to drug (but I did). I was hopeless just like the rehab said I would be; one of the ones that wasn't going to make it. With no hope in sight ... the desire of my heart burst through and I through that glass pipe on the floor, stepped on it and turned and walked away. I went home and sat in my car crying; scared that if I got out the car that my body would go back to the dope spot. I made a decistion that day never to use drugs or alcohol ever again. I called out to my Creator my Heavenly Father to help me because I know that "I" can not do it on my own.... and it has been a journey ever since. With new things to learn every day about me and my Father. My sobriety date is 10/10/2004 the day I allowed myself to grow without drugs and alcohol.
I wrote this book to give you; the reader the opportunity, information and knowledge to better your life. This book offers you a new way of life ... free from addiction.
NOT an alcohol/drug addict..... Well what about shopping, gambling or food? Where there is a need for change; from the oldest to the youngest; smallest to biggest this book will help.
While conventional rehabs will teach that you are suffering from a progressive incurable disease that renders you powerless; and that only 1 in every 3 will make it......we do not believe so. Every last one of you can make it!!! Yes! There is HOPE and YOU hold it in the palm of your hand.
Now don't get us wrong you cannot sit back and relax and do nothing ...... there is work for you to do.
As the reader of this book.... you might be spending time outside in silence or learning about the physiological effects of alcohol/drug abuse or journaling; maybe even living life.... no two days are the same. Through our multiple methods you will learn about yourself and your ability to completely overcome your addiction.
Life is wonderful..... Let’s enjoy it!
