Knowing You is the Best Thing…

“Wow – meeting and getting to know was the BEST thing that has happened to me in a long time! You are an angel. Seriously, the way you help us girls is a gift from God. I’ve never met a more kind, caring, loving, understanding, forgiving, beautiful and amazing person in my life. I hope to be as loving and kind as you (hopefully soon! Lol) You have taught me so much! Thank you for always being there for me and loving me. It really means a lot. You are so special and have helped so many girls here. You don’t even know how much you have helped me. I’ll be forever grateful for you and never forget you and everything you have done for me and everyone around you. I love you with all of my heart and know we’ll stay in touch!” – Sarah S.

Overdose or Try Treatment One Last Time

Getting sober is probably the hardest thing I’ll ever do. After several reputable centers and hundreds of thousands of dollars on hospitalizations and treatments, I still found myself holed up in my Newport Beach apartment shooting heroin. I had come to the conclusion this would be my life. By the time I started treatment this time I was frail, beaten down, and basically had two options: overdose in my apartment or try treatment one last time.

In the past three months I have walked through more difficult things than in my last year of using. From finding out I have hepatitis C to getting off benzodiazapines for the first time in five years. It has not always been fun or easy but because of Sure Haven I’ve learned how to walk through hard times with grace and dignity. I fully believe I would not have the life that I do today without the love and care I have received through Sure Haven.

You Guys are so Amazing

Thank you so much for the opportunity to live at Sure Haven. I learned so much and truly loved this place. I am so grateful and happy I met you both – I think you guys are so amazing and really appreciate everything you do for me and all the girls. I can’t even believe how much you guys care for all of us. You are such an example of this program and have taught me so much about sobriety.

I’ll never forget you both and what you’re doing for our community and all these people’s lives. It’s truly amazing. I hope to someday give back like you do. Thank you for always helping me, I know we’ll stay in touch. I love you guys soo much.

Getting Sober is Exhausting But…

The process of getting sober was emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausting. It was an experience unlike any other and one that ripped open parts of myself that I completely forgot about, and some that I wanted to forget. The process of staying sober is entirely different. It’s about learning how to live a happy, healthy, successful life.

Recovery is not just staying sober.

For me, living sober is about learning how to embrace and carry those parts of me through whatever life throws at me. I’ve also learned that in order to do this, its going to take some adjustments on my part which comes with a lot of uncomfortability and confusion. And I now know that to figure out how to do this sober life, I need a lot of support and guidance before I can handle it on my own. Sure Haven is where I’ve found the value of sober living.

Freedom and Preventative Measures

Sure Haven has given me the opportunity to venture out into the real world with the safety, security, and support of a sober environment. Its hard to create that delicate balance of enough freedom without self-will run riot, and stifling growth when needing to take some preventative measures.

They Come Along Beside Me

For me, Sure Haven has built a wide enough fence around the world to let me explore without letting me get lost, into trouble, or overwhelmed. And as I continually take active steps in my sobriety, they come along side me and support me, and make me feel like I can challenge myself even further. Yes its scary to move forward and to take on responsibilities, but I’m doing it in a place that prioritizes my sobriety. In turn, it re-enforces this practice within myself.

Developing a Life I’m Proud to Call My Own

In the last two and a half months I’ve been with Sure Haven, I feel like I’ve grown tremendously. I feel like I’m constantly finding my real self and developing a life that I am proud to call my own. I am so grateful for everything that Beth and Steve have done for me; they have truly blessed and enriched my life. I know I’m right where I’m supposed to be.

Blown Away at the Faith You Have in Me

Steve and Beth, I just want to express my gratitude for the overwhelming display of grace and kindness you have shown me. I wish I could convey to you both how deeply you have touched me. You have brought me to tears and shown me a deeper level of appreciation for the gifts that come from something greater than myself. I’m blown away at your generosity, the faith that you have in me, and all the love and care.

I Am So Grateful

Your generosity and the faith you have in me inspires me to work harder and to commit more because for one – I’m continually shown that this thing works if you work it; and two – I just want to pay it forward. The work you do on a daily basis, what you give of yourself, and what you do for others is inspiring. I am here for a reason, and I’m thrilled that I am. I appreciate all that you do. I am so grateful for what you are doing for me.
