I was uncomfortable in my own skin and broken. I finally hit my rock bottom just after Christmas in 2015. Between the excessive drinking and suicidal thoughts that had consumed me for 13 years I finally couldn’t take it anymore. My suicidal thoughts got way “too real” for me to handle. To the point where I almost yanked the steering wheel on the freeway on the way to the mental health hospital to end it all. After going through detox for a few days I really needed to talk to someone professional. It took 6 days to talk to someone. I had been emotionless for so long it just became to norm to me. Even if something traumatic happened and I wanted to cry, I couldn’t. After meeting Sarah in the Residential program, I knew right away she could help me. i could see it in her eyes. She truly is passionate about what she does and I am forever grateful to her. After one good “sit down” with her, I cried and cried. She worked her magic. The other counselors were great but I couldn’t wait until Sarah came in. I felt a great connection with her and I could tell her everything and just spill my guts. As of today, because of her help I am 5 and a half months sober and Im comfortable in my own skin, loving life, no suicidal thoughts and I have a true smile on my face. I almost want to relapse and screw my life up again just to have her treat me again 😉 Im kidding.
