Success Stories

I would like to share with you how it was, what happened, and what my life is like now. Two years ago I was introduced to a substance, one of which caused an addiction. During the time of my active addiction, I had no idea my life was heading on a downward spiral, I was dying. I was diagnosed with severe depression with suicide attempts triggered by the terminal illness and death of my mother. I replaced all prescribed depression medication and therapy with the drug of my choice. This led me to be hospitalized after another attempt of suicide. Before I was discharged, my doctor felt my recovery would be beneficial if I entered a program (long term). That's where I became a part of Tomorrow's Woman. This program gave me hope. I began to live again. I placed a name on my disease - called addiction - and this taught me how to put it in remission. It helped me to heal from the trauma of my childhood. I grew up and became my authentic self, the person I was meant to be. Through the grace of God and his love for me, Tomorrow's Woman saved my life and for that I will always be greatful.

Hi, my name is Kat. I am 22 years old. I was addicted to meth and marijuana, as well as other things. Drugs controlled my life. I thought I would never be able to stop using. Drugs took away my life and my children. Now, I've been here at TW's for six months. I am so happy to be clean and sober after ten years of using dope. Now I finally believe I never have to use drugs ever again. Since I've been here, I've never failed a drug test. I am maintaining a job. I am halfway to getting my children back. I've got my GED. I plan to go to school to get an LPN degree. All thanks to my recovery and the help from Tomorrow's Woman. I will graduate from Tomorrow's Woman on February 5th, 2007.

Hi, I'm Joyce M. I came to Tomorrow's Woman in Sept of 2005. I wasn't sure if I was ready to get help at first. Once I accepted I had a problem and that this was the right thing to do my life started changing. I learned I can look in a mirror and be honest with myself as well as others. I learned to love myself. I learned I have a disease and that I was insane.

I feel good today and I am learning more every day about recovery. I work the 12 steps every day. And I live for today.

Tomorrow's Woman offered me freedom from alcohol and drugs. If you truly want to become sane and live a good life, I suggest comming to Tomorrow's Woman. Learn how to be honest, willing and open-minded. There is so much more to learn.

Life is Great without Alcohol and Drugs!

My Name is Danita and I'm a grateful recovering addict. Before coming to Tomorrow's Woman, I had lost all faith, hope, and even the will to live. I used cocaine to cover up the pain and emptiness I felt inside. I felt life had passed me by. I found myself hating my life more and more. The more I hated being me, the more drugs I used to numb those feelings. Before I knew it, cocaine had taken over my life. I kept telling myself - 'I'll stop using tomorrow', but with each tomorrow I found more excuses to use again.

I could not understand why I could not stop and I finally realized that I needed help.

I've been at Tomorrow's Woman for 7 months now. I am drug free and happy with the way my life is going. I've learned a lot here about the disease of addiction, but most importantly, I've learned a lot about me. Through counseling sessions dealing with shame and codependency, I now understand how it all began. I've made a lot of positive changes in my life and look forward to what tomorrow holds.

I will be graduating from tomorrow woman in five months. I plan to further my education in recovery and helping others by remaining at Tomorrow's Woman as a staff member.
