I was the type of drinker that drank alone at home and in my case the garage. I knew about Come Rest Awhile because my sponsor took me to an AA meeting there. I remember thinking at the time that I wish I could stay there around sober women. It was a safe place. I have to this day stayed sober because of Come Rest Awhile and have been reunited with my children.”
My time at Come Rest Awhile was very healing and rewarding. I came six months after treatment but was still not ready to live on my own. I made lifelong friends and managed to rebuild my life. I learned how to live without drugs and alcohol on a daily basis with constant love and support.”
