Time for another Feel Good Friday!!
Meet our friend Eric!
Sobriety date 3/16/2024
I was a broken mess of a human who didn't care if I lived or died. My rock bottom finally came up to meet me just over 2 years ago. I had lost my family, my will to live and was ready to give up. I woke up in a hospital with a tube down my throat, alone and probably the most scared I have ever been. This put me on a path that allowed God to put people in my life to help me see that I was worth it. I was introduced to Jude and Robert at a time I could barely even speak. I was drooling on myself and so embarrassed and ashamed, but was not judged ever! Instead, I found myself with the first support system that truly wanted for nothing more then to see me get well. With the help(and persistence) of the Myrtle Beach response team I find myself over 2 years clean and sober, a productive member of society again! Working as a peer support/Recovery Assistant at Lantana Recovery helping the next person see that there is a way out of addiction. I wake up everyday and get to go to a job I love. I have my family back, A life worth living and find myself proud of the man I have become. How is my life different from then to now? I was given a second chance at life by people who saw something in me I could not see, and now I get to do the same for others still struggling with seeing their own self worth.
Eric Hanson (I tried to tag you bud)
