"I learned how to stay alive in treatment (by not drinking), but I learned how to live at The Lodge. The additional tools I was provided in the 12 days I have been here have left me more confident and less fearful as I go back to my life outside of this spiritual sanctuary. Thank you for this wondrous gift."
