Introduction
I am Tom and I am an alcoholic. I have tried to get sober for the past 3 years with 3 different treatment facilities. I am on my 3rd go around. The first time I did not believe in the 12 steps and I stayed home after treatment. The second time I tried a little harder but only had one foot in. This time I left my wife and child to come to FL and get sober. I am 61 days sober, and working the program now. I will be going home around my 90 days but I am building a strong foundation for when I do go home to my wife and kid. I am thankful for this program, it has shown me the way.

61 days is fantastic.

I've never achieved that many days.
