🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"What it was like: I drank and used drugs regardless of consequences and regardless of who I hurt. I spent years in institutions and rehab. I gained and lost everything repeatedly. I tried everything to control my drinking and drug use and continuously failed. I had to become so hopeless and tired that I would be willing to do anything to stop completely.

I went to treatment after losing everything once again and took the suggestions of the men that came before me in AA. The men that have struggled with the same problems as me and had learned a new way of life. I call my sponsor daily, I actively work the steps, and I sponsor other men. Due to taking the suggestions, I now have a completely different life. I'm a present father, I am trusted to manage a sober home, I have a good job. I most of all have peace in my life. I know it's nothing too crazy but it's a life I thought was impossible at one point.

From waking up desperate for something to calm me down everyday to now waking up free from the obsession to drink. I'm very grateful to God, the program of AA, and everybody that helped me along the way."

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"My name is Kevin. My sobriety date is 11/29/2020. I struggled in addiction for twenty years. I've been in and out of detoxes, rehabs, halfway houses, veteran programs, psych units, homelessness, and jail. I've been in and out of the rooms of AA, NA, church, smart recovery just as long. Never truly making a decision to be sober. Really Sober!!!

November 2020 I ended up in detox in PSL. In December 2020 I ended up at Foundations. There was a guy working at Foundations that was actually from my hometown in Massachusetts. He was a huge help to me. He kept telling me if I didn’t change, nothing was going to change for me. I would keep cycling through relapse until I ended up dead. He told me to be honest with my therapist and to get a sponsor right away. I decided to take his suggestion and found a sponsor. For the first time in my life, I got honest. I made a decision to get sober and to do everything that I had to do to make that happen. As the days started adding up, I started to feel a change taking place. Even my bad days weren’t that bad. Doing the steps was huge for me. I did them as they should be done, honestly and thoroughly then turning around and helping others. I could list all the wonderful blessings that have come my way, but none of them compare to the peace of mind, serenity, and the ability to sit with myself and just be OK. I still do the same things today as I did when I first started my journey. I searched for God daily. I clean house and help others. Those are my keys to successful sobriety.

Foundations holds a very special place in my heart. It was the first stepping stone to freedom from addiction. I will always be grateful for Foundations and the staff for all the help they provided me."

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"First photo is me at 18, and that describes the way I drank all throughout my life. There was never enough. It wasn’t until my 30s when I finally wanted to stop and realized that I could not. No human power could have relieved me from my alcoholism. After many failed attempts to do things my way, I finally surrendered. I went to rehab for the full continuum of care. My PHP was done at Foundations and my first day there I got a sponsor and started my steps. I had my first sponsee by the time I got to IOP, and since then I have remained involved in the 12 steps. The next photo is now, after 556 days of continuous sobriety. My life has transformed. I now work for a recovery center as a patient care specialist, helping people get into PHP after residential. I lead groups and work with sponsees outside of that, I regularly attend meetings, and I have even joined a sober motorcycle club local to Port Saint Lucie. My life used to be darkness, but I have found the light, and it’s beyond my wildest dreams. Trust god, clean house, help others!"

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"I’m Dave, a recovered alcoholic and drug addict. By the Grace of God, the obsession has been removed.

For over 20 years, I refused to accept that I was powerless. 2 DUI’s, overdose, fights, high speed chases, near death experiences, and hurting the ones who loved me. None of these things were enough to make me stop drinking and using. I had become that black out drunk you read about in the papers, that wakes up in a jail cell being told he killed people in a drunk driving accident. That was my first thought when police officers knocked on my door at 4AM after an 8 day binge. Thank God, they were only there to serve a Marchman Act. I was getting another chance.

I'd lost everything: my relationship, my business, my house, and my mental and physical health. I didn't care if I lived or died. Finally ready to accept help, I called Foundations and started feeling some relief just by knowing I was taking some ACTION in getting better. I got vulnerable and honest with myself and others, I shared in group, I did what my therapist told me to do, no matter if my ego told me otherwise. It was also a “must” for me to get involved with softball, volleyball, corn hole and the other sober activities Foundations put on for the clients. Getting uncomfortable was serving me well!

Picking up 4 years sober on the 2/27/25 is proof of the miracle that happens when we are willing, honest and openminded to the spiritual solution. I follow the AA design for living to keep me grounded in my sobriety, I have a sponsor, I sponsor other men and do my best to carry the message of AA to others and to practice the 12 step principals in all my affairs. Because of the AA work I continue to put into my recovery, I have my relationships, business, home, health, peace of mind and sleep back. I am also very aware that if I stop putting in the AA work, I will revert to my “default program”, relapse and lose all that I have gained. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. Trust God, Clean House, Help Others!!

Special thanks to all my Foundations family who have helped me and continue to help in my recovery."

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"The picture on the left is what I thought was normal for many years. Blackouts, overdoses, paid on Friday and broke by Friday. Pure misery. Low and behold, I suffered from many underlying issues and this was my solution. I wasn’t just killing myself, but also the people who loved me. I was a very selfish person. After a “successful” intervention I was off to treatment.

I thought I would go to treatment and do no work but come out and be cured. I was afraid of change, and the drink and the drugs were my comfort zone. I was in and out for a little while and I didn’t understand why.

It wasn’t until I was fully spiritually and emotionally bankrupt and willing to do something different that I fully got it. I stumbled into Foundations and did something different – and that was just shutting up and listening. My best thoughts and actions led me into these situations in the first place. For once, I took the suggestions of the professionals and the people who had been through what I have been through… People with some time. I started to learn positive coping skills that didn’t involve drinking or drugging.

Fast forward and I still use the very same tools today. On 4/20/2025, I celebrated 8 years clean and sober. I am no longer the same person I was in that picture on the left. I am a husband, father, son, brother, college graduate, home owner, trusted employee, etc. today. All the material gifts came, but the most important thing I achieved in sobriety is peace of mind and the ability to be available for anyone who is struggling.

I look at the picture on the left often to remind myself how far I’ve come. One thing I never forget is where I came from. My past led me to where I am today and for that I am forever grateful."

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"I spent 20 years of my life chasing that sense of ease and comfort you get from the first one. That chase would take me to some pretty dark places where I would do things I never thought I would do. As a result, I would spend 10 years in and out of prison. None of that was enough to get me sober. I always had another idea of how to drink and get high successfully. On January 9th, 2022 I was all out of ideas. I was beaten! I reached out for help and ended up at a detox in Florida and then on to Foundations Wellness Center where I met some amazing people who showed me how to live life sober and have fun doing it. First I had to take some action which included taking some steps and doing some uncomfortable things. I was told by the GOAT Sean Harrigan to “Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable" and I did. I got a sponsor, took some steps, got some relief and learned some principles to live by. Notice I never said WORK the steps. The steps aren’t work, they are a gift. Who knew getting uncomfortable and taking some steps would bring me to the comfort I had been searching for. As a result, I live a life today I never thought I could have. In the past 3 years I have been able to “clean up the wreckage of my past” like the book says. I have gotten married, bought a house, have a job I enjoy, and most importantly I get the opportunity to help other people like me. There is no greater feeling than sitting across from another alcoholic/addict and seeing the light come on in their eyes and knowing they finally got it! There is no drug that can compare to that. I am forever grateful to Foundations, 12 step programs, Sean, and so many others for giving me the gift of sobriety which I now get to share with others. THANK YOU! 🙏"

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"My name is Robin Rockenback. I’m an addict and alcoholic. My sobriety date is August 20th, 2024 and God willing, it stays that date. I’ve been in and out of the program for 27 years. I had never fully worked it before nor had I wanted to be sober or stay sober. I never did it for me until now. My last relapse lasted 8 years. I lost myself, my relationship with my children, and my relationship with God. I wanted to stop and promised my kids every day that tomorrow I would. But I couldn’t, not on my own. I had overdosed many times, was having seizures, went to jail, lost my job. My mom asked me, "haven’t you had enough? Haven’t you hit bottom? You’re killing yourself, that’s what you’re doing. How many times do you have to die before it clicks?" I said I don’t know. One day I woke up, did my morning routine, prayed to God and called a treatment center. They couldn’t get me in, but they found one that could. They came to pick me up the next day. I knew if I waited longer, I wouldn’t go. I ended up overdosing on the way. I remember bits and pieces of getting to the treatment center. When I woke up in the morning, I didn’t know where I was. Then I remembered, this is real. But I wanted this and needed this. I need to be sober. This is the life I want and I will do everything I can, with the Grace of God, to keep it."

"March 2023 was my legal bottom. After a year in jail, I got out and still somehow wasn’t ready. I relapsed and by the grace of God, was caught and given another chance and I haven’t looked back since. I got sober May 5, 2024, and now I’m looking at a year of sobriety. I have an amazing job working with medical equipment as a manager. I got my license back after five years. I have a car, a relationship, and pay all of my own bills. Things I would’ve never imagined if you had asked the girl that’s in the first picture. All of this is because I was truly sick of the way that things had been and I knew I needed to change. I not only knew it, I finally wanted it and here I am. Due to the grace of God and the mercy of God, May 5, 2025 I will have a year sober. Thank God."

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"Addiction was straight misery. I burned my life to the ground, sleep walking away days, weeks, months, and years. Then something happened; God did for me what I could never bring myself to do. I went to jail, detoxed there from fentanyl and then later found myself in treatment. At that point, the reality of the situation set in. I realized that all the choices I made in life had brought me to my current state and that everything had to change. If the thought of doing something made me feel nervous or scared, that was the thing that needed to be done. I took suggestions, opened up and talked about the things that were keeping me sick. I got a sponsor, worked the 12 steps of AA, and ultimately found God. I did recovery like it was my job. It was the simplest, hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I now have a life worth living, whereas once I was resigned to dying as an addict. I now know a happiness that I’ve never before known, surrounded by friends, family, and loved ones. I am deeply grateful for God, AA, Drug Court, places like Foundations and all of the people there that have so profoundly impacted me along the way. If you ever think that you can’t do it, that it’s all too much, that you’ve fallen too far, know that you can and that there are many that will gladly help you back up."

🚨 TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY 🚨

"What It Was Like During Addiction:
Always chaos. I was looking for the party to never end and was hanging out with a lot of fake people always wanting more.

What Happened:
I reached a breaking point and made the decision to change. All I wanted to was to be a functioning member of society and have some stability in my life.

What It’s Like Now:
I have found what I had always really wanted in sobriety. I have good people in my corner. I am a functioning member of society and have control over my life. I always put my best foot forward And try to help others on the way."
