My name is Shelly H. and I am an addict. I came to treatment at Community & Family Resources in the year 1999 for a drug addiction that began at the age of 9. My drug of choice was methamphetamine. I was lost and confused with absolutely no understanding of my addiction other then my constant struggle to survive. I had many interferences in my life. I was about to lose my children, my home, I had many legal problems and I had not been able to successfully hold a job for many years. When I came to CFR I was 37 years old with a maturity level of a 9 year old. I had no understanding of why my life had become so uncontrollable but through group education and therapy I discovered my addiction was a symptom of sexual abuse that happened at the same time my addiction began. What a revelation! After I started to process my abuse with the counselors my life began to make sense. The counselors and the clients taught me that I was not alone and that I did not have to live my life in misery. I am unique and beautiful. At that point my history ceased to control my destiny. I am now a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and a Certified Gambling Treatment Counselor at Community and Family Resources and my life has transformed. What a privilege it is to be a part of helping others build a solid foundation the way that Community and Family Resources helped me. FREEDOM!!!!!
Shelly H.
