My journey in recovery, after many years of not having the support of others in recovery, had always failed me. I began to question if I was hopeless, in fact this is what I had concluded for my life and with the attitude that it was what it was. Today, I have gained a complete psychic change on who I am and who I was always meant to be. Simmering is the foundation I needed in my life to make my way into recovery. The support I have gained from the staff at Simmering has been nonstop. I will never look at Simmering as a facility. To me, it has been my home since day one. Thank you Simmering for giving me the stability I needed to focus on healing in my journey.

It says in James 5, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” For me, that’s who and what we are here at Simmering. From the newcomer to the directors, we are a bunch of addicts and alcoholics working towards a common goal, trying to heal each other and trying to spread hope and love to anyone who might need some. We are not going to meet you at the door with a Bible and try and beat Jesus into you; but we try to be the example of what God has done in our lives.

I would like to give my thanks to Simmering Center. I have struggled with addiction for 15 years. I never truly surrendered to my recovery. I finally gave it up and surrendered my pride. The staff at the Center are some of the most caring, helpful people I have ever met. After a year at the Center, I found my career and found my faith. I have gone from long-term prison sentences to long-term sobriety. I give thanks to my “family at Simmering Center.
