I was a victim. I thought there was nothing I could do to change things so I drowned my sorrows with alcohol. One DUI followed another until finally I’d had enough. I wanted help and Valley Hope took me in without judging me. I guess they’d seen it all before.

I can’t say enough good things about the staff. I was full of guilt and anger but everyone, even the other patients, gave me the space and forgiveness I needed. It allowed me to open my mind to a new way of life. Things are easier now. They showed me how to manage day to day and actually enjoy life.

My cup has “Nothing changes if nothing changes” on it. I truly believe that. Doing the next right thing is the key.
