Suncoast Rehabilitation Center Florida Drug Rehab - Success Story

Wow! It’s finally here! What a good feeling this is to just finally complete something in my life. I’ve never completed anything I’ve started, school, college, the navy, and even more little things… This Suncoast Rehabilitation Center showed me the way to happiness and for that I would firstly like to thank my family, without you guys… none of this would’ve been possible. I’d also like to thank the students and staff at Suncoast Rehabilitation Center because you guys helped me out so much, Eric and Richard thank you for giving me the chance to prove myself, Maggie and Andy thank you for putting up with so much of my nonsense in the course room, Scott thank you for always talking to me when I was down and wanted to leave. Everyone played a huge role in helping me through the program, but one thing I realized is the biggest thank you has to go out to myself, because without the guts to come back and face the music I definitely wouldn’t be here right now.

"When I first got here at Suncoast Rehabilitation Center I didn’t care about anything, in fact I came here lost you could say. I had no idea what was going on, I was in a state of confusion. I didn’t want to be here, I made a lot of mistakes and through all my mistakes, someone on the top of the food chain knew I could be helped, and wanted to help me. Nobody gave up on me, no matter how many times I called my family telling them I wanted to leave. In the beginning of the program I screwed up. I ended up going home for a week, against the center and my family’s recommendation. I got home and stayed with my Aunt Jill, who had the full intention on sending me back down here. So after a week, I had to learn to take responsibility for the things I do, and I know what needs to be done. So I came back, and this time I came back with the intention on being happy, and getting through this. I knew there was still so much to learn from the program. Eric, Richard and Tammy made the decision to let me come back even though I blew the program. What a blessing that was. Because I knew I could do it. I just needed the push to go that extra mile, everyday. Finally I learned about responsibility, while started to really look at and address all my past actions, I realized that by admitting all this stuff that I’ve done, and putting it on paper, I was taking responsibility for the things I’ve done. Pretty soon I just felt great about my life, and where it was headed. It was like I had been born again, had a new start on my life. The bad things I’ve done no longer held me back, and impeded my chance at completing a goal of mine, which was to complete this program. Just being able to hear my dad stand up and say, “I’m proud of you son” was like the greatest moment of my life. All I ever really wanted in my life was to be able to be a good son, take responsibility for my actions, be happy, and be true to myself. Without this Suncoast Rehabilitation Center program I wouldn’t have had the integrity to tell myself, you can finish it, and then honor that by completing. Without a doubt in my mind this is the greatest, happiest day in my life. I did it, and the way to happiness really is here. The opportunities are endless and everything just kind of falls into place for you when you do the right things, and hang out with the right people. I wouldn’t have changed anything in my life. I’m so happy to be here right now telling you that you can do it, just like me.”
