A-Z of Addiction Recovery: X is for eXtraordinary!

eXtraordinary!

I work with people recovering from acute and chronic chemical dependency and in my experience I see people come in frequently for treatment still suffering from their alcoholism and drug addiction disease, experiencing withdrawal, physical pain, or heartache from many losses.

Within a as short as three weeks, I see our clients begin to brighten, their eyes light up, they smile more, and their thinking becomes clearer. Many start to realize the many benefits of what a sober life might be like. They start to set short and long term goals for themselves. Although the chemicals may have damaged their brains, I see such intelligence and resilience shine through in such a short time that it still amazes me. I find this transformation extraordinary!
