10 months sober, what an incredible milestone! We’re so proud of this amazing alumni for choosing life, showing up for himself, and doing the hard work to heal. His journey is a powerful reminder that change is possible.
Read his story below, and join us in congratulating him on 10 months of strength, growth, and sobriety.
"Ten months sober. I never thought I’d say that. Before Stone River, I was using daily, hoping each shot would be my last. After losing my partner, I was angry at God and ready to die, but I made the choice to live. I picked up the phone, went to detox, and then to inpatient at Stone River Recovery. That choice saved my life.
My first group was grief with Cristina, the same pain I was trying to numb with drugs. I shared everything that day because I was finally ready to heal. Cara, my therapist, helped me work through the trauma and grief that were holding me back. The sessions were life-changing.
Every group, every staff member, every moment here mattered. The support I received at Stone River gave me the tools I needed to not only survive, but to start thriving. Now I get to come back as alumni and show others that change is possible. I’m forever grateful"
