My name is Christy S. & I am a grateful recovering alcoholic. In April 2013 I was broken. I was hopeless, helpless, & faced everday with an impending sense of dread & shame. My lifelong struggle with alcohol had reached a point that I finally surrendered & admitted to my family that I had a problem I could not fix. After that coversation I began looking for a place to get "sober". What I found was so much more at The Watershed Treatment Facilty. I found understanding. I knew people in my life loved & cared for me, but they didn't "understand". The people at The Watershed did. They have been there, right where I was. I found structure & rules. I had guidelines to follow which I needed, considering my days had been structured around nothing more than alcohol for so many years. I found hope. I was lost with no hope in sight. Now I was surrounded by people who had done this & were happy! They were sharing their experience, strength & hope & showing me what I had been searching for, for so long. Most importantly was that it was possible! I found acceptance in friendships & comradery with my peers. They accepted me as the hopeless alcoholic that I was, without passing judgement. I found faith. Faith in something bigger than all this, faith in other people, faith in me! This had been gone so long, I wasn't even sure it could exist anymore. I found genuine caring from everyone I was surrounded by. No matter what my story was everyone cared about ME, not what I had done. I found the program & principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. This program that has worked for countless others is all there for me to take full advantage of, if I am willing to put forth the effort. One of the greatest things I have found along the way is myself. A little bit each day I am learning something new about me. I am growing in ways I never imagined possible. I am tackling this life "one day at a time" & I am doing it all without alcohol. This disease of alcoholism had controlled me for so long, I honestly believed this was the only way. The Watershed showed me a different way to cope & allowed me to finally start truly living! I owe them everything for where I am today & they continue to be an integral part of my recovery. They honestly did save my life with all the things I have "found" & what I countinue to learn on this journey. I am beyond grateful to be a recovering alcoholic.

Before coming to the watershed my life had hit rock bottom .and getting there I've learned somegood thing that I used daily.

I think that the Watershed is a wonderful place to go get sober. They provide a step down program with has great structure which all addicts need in early recovery. The techs and therapist are all wonderful and provide help in any aspect that you need. People say they only care about your money which I honestly believe is not the case. Of course it is a business and they want to make money however, they are very caring and want the best for there patients. They want to see people succeed and do the best thing for there lives. I loved my experience there and thought it was just an absolutely wonderful place with very little complaints.

Before I went to the Watershed treatment center: I talked with an experienced operator, who walked me all the way though to my arrival at the Watershed. I was scared and confused. I talked with her from home, on the way to the airport, in the airport, and even after my arrival there! She was my angel, that helped me in my dispair. .. Once I arrived the staff that admitted me we're very nice, and walked me through the process. I was in great hands and had my first taste of peace, everything was going to be Okay! I stayed with the Watershed for 54 days. They taught me how to live with my disease of alcoholism, to live life on lifes terms. How to achieve Sobrity, not just get sober, but have Peace and Serenity in my life. I am now a little over 2 years sober, and I owe it to the Watershed for giving me a solid foundation to achieve Sobrity! I am part of the Watershed alumni today we, still stay in touch. The Watershed made me a comittment to help me make my life better then it was before, and they surely achieve there goal and exceded my expectations. This was the best choice, I ever made.

Though many places around the world guide people to a life in recovery, I chose to go to The Watershed. The clinical staff at The Watershed help me work though many life altering issues, and provided a safe environment to work on these issues. I hold an immense amount of gratitude for The Watershed, and it holds a very special place in my heart. Statistically there will always be "the outliers", the group of people who will have a bad experience (wherever they go). The Watershed has provided life saving guidance for thousands of people. Do not be afraid to take a chance! Ultimately the choice to change is yours to make. I have been drug and alcohol free since 5/1/2014. My name is Kevin C, and The Watershed has directly aided me in the path to freedom and peace.

I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for The Watershed!

When I called and needed somewhere for my daughter to go to get help , that day!!! They got her to Florida and got the help that I could not give her.
