Recovery Stories
At Āé¶¹Ö±²„app, there are thousands of stories of growth and recovery, each one unique, powerful, and full of inspiration. Here are just a few...
āI just wanted to say thank you. Thirty days ago, I came here broken, hopeless, and lost. I really thought I would never find my way back. You have all helped me in so many ways. I leave here loving myself with a genuinely happy and hopeful heart. I am still a work in progress but thank you for being such a huge part and the beginning of my recovery journey that will lead me where I want to go.ā
āBe it known that miracles have happened in my sonās life after three months with Āé¶¹Ö±²„app. I can use no other word to describe what is happening in his life.ā
āI really like seeing a little bit of hope in a memberās eyes when I tell them, āWe are not going to quit on you. Even if you donāt pick up the phone, even if you donāt answer the door, we are going to keep coming after you until you talk to us because we donāt quit. Āé¶¹Ö±²„app is different.āā
āThis place showed me that I was loved the way I wanted to be loved, that I could be grateful. Instead of getting āout of the way,ā I can now āenjoy the rideā with my family. The peer support staff told me their stories and gave me a lot of hope.ā
āThey got me off the streets. They made it easier for me to live, breathe, eat, and stay clean. Without them, Iād be waiting somewhere, waiting for someone to give me a chance to live. But hope is strong. Hope is real. As long as you want it, you can get it. Itās really hard to come by, but once you make a smart decision, youāre able to get into a hopeful situation, and when youāre hopeful, you make hopeful decisions. And usually, when you have a lot of hope in your heart, good things happen.ā
āYour entire staff in San Diego County are the most compassionate, intelligent professional people our family has encountered in the too many years we as parents of a mentally unstable adult have met. We thank every person we even briefly talked to on our sonās behalf. You accepted him. THANK YOU for that. Your positive, sacrificial, professional ācoachingā will always be a golden memory. Thank you IHOT San Diego County.ā
āWorking for Āé¶¹Ö±²„app has given me an opportunity to be a part of an ACT program, where I get to work in the community that I was raised in. My biggest joy is helping others who had the same struggles I overcame. The work I do has allowed me to give back to my community and use my past living experiences to help others to become the best person they can be.ā
