Testimonials

“The first thing you want to do when you get clean is ditch all your old friends and make new ones that are clean and sober. PARTS is excellent for that. PARTS has a lot of kids working on their sobriety. There are at least thirty or forty kids that I can hang out with.”

“People here explained to my parents what was going on and how they dealt with it. It allowed the communication to get better…It helps and heals everyone in the family…because the parents are just as frightened and confused as anyone else.”/p>

“I have learned that I’m not the lowlife I thought I was. I am somebody. I am somebody that can make it, and that I am gonna make it!”

“PARTS has done so much for me. The support here is unbelievable. I didn’t realize how many adolescents had the same patterns I did…They’re there for me when I need them…I have someone to talk to at three o’clock in the morning. If I have a problem, there’s someone out there with an answer. They say the answers are right in front of you and you just can’t see it.”

“PARTS is a place where you can open up in front of your peers, your parents and other parents, and get feedback. It’s nice to know there are other people like you and you’re not the only one.”

“When I think about PARTS, I think about different parts of your sobriety, different parts of your addiction that come together as a whole with your family and you. Parts of the puzzle that match up.”

“I get information about problems that I have and they help me try to figure out what will work. I’ve become really close.”

“I’ve grown really attached to PARTS. It was the first place that gave me support and so I feel obligated to show people that you can stay clean.”

“I have a fresh start on life. Slowly you earn all of your privileges back. I am doing well in school and just started my senior year. For the first time I am actually taking my life seriously.”

“This is the best meeting I go to. It’s here we all hang out. This is where I found my big sister and we help each other and our parents.”

“I finally realized that my addiction affected the whole family and that we needed to work on recovery.”

“I’m prepared. I have learned so much from this place that it’s almost a guarantee. I’m gonna make it!”

“For a long time I felt like my life had shattered into pieces and was scattered all over the place. I was lost and had no answers to my questions. With PARTS, I have put my life back together piece by piece. Now I can see a clear path for my life. I have goals…and dreams. I know I can do anything.”

“My one year token which glowed at night,
To show that I worked for my life,
In recovery. My final word to the searchers of light:
If you find your sobriety, then you find your life.”
