I would like to thank all the staff at Lakeview. When I came here, I honestly thought my life was over. I thought I didn’t have a chance to recover. I didn’t understand how anything could make people do the things we did for drugs. I thought I was the only one who did things wrong. Now I know I’m not alone. And there’s not a cure, but there is a better way.

The staff and community have given me self-esteem and self respect back. You’ve taught me how to become a responsible adult tyhat people will look up to. I’m learning to live so I can live to learn. I’m learning tools to keep me on the right path, and I believe in myself now. I can look in the mirror and love the person who is looking back. I’ve learned so much because fo all of you. There are no words to express the gratitude in my heart. You have literally given me my life back. Thank yoou so much. I only hope to make all of you proud.
