   “I just wanted to thank you for this past weekend. Personally, I went in with no expectations other than getting a little guidance as to whether or not I will, or should be able to, control my drinking. I left with many new tools in my toolbelt, not only for me, but for my relationship with my daughter as well…I felt such a relief, in group, to finally be able to admit that I’m an alcoholic and binge drinker (again, something that I learned about myself this weekend).  If I had taken this program in my 20’s or even last year, I would have been completely closed off and resentful to the fact that I was forced into it. So, I guess I was finally ready to accept the help and support I need. You made a comment that if there was only one person in the room that learned something, or took a seed to sow about what we learned, that you’d be happy. Well, I’m letting you know that my life is changed forever now for the better and it’s because of you and this program.”
