I had been addicted to drugs since I was 13 an had tried several times to try an get clean all with no success. When I moved to tmtl in 2013 I was completely lost an broken an I hadn’t seen my, at that time 7 year old daughter in over 3 years . I honestly was completely hopeless. I had no idea how to live life In the most basic of ways , daily chores getting myself motivated an up for the day or how to communicate my emotional needs or feelings to anyone in a healthy manner . From the moment I moved into the house I knew this was the place my life was going to change . The love an support poured upon an into me through all of the staff at tmtl completely changed my life . I worked A Genesis process with Carmen and every week we had Group meetings with all of the girls in the house to work on our internal an external struggles. All to move towards Letting go of our addictionS and trauma . In the time that I spent there I learned how to love myself an to love others around me, How to create a life where I didn’t need drugs, nor want anything to do with them .I learned how to become the mother I never had, an to show my children the love they deserve. I now have seven years clean , I have an amazing relationship with my daughter , an my family , Some thing I can honestly say seven years ago I never would’ve thought I would have. I’ve had two more beautiful babies who will grow up in a happy functional home with a mother who appreciates them an is present to watch them grow . I gained a job , life skills a drivers license a home , emotional stability an so so much more from my time living at tmtl . I can whole heartedly say I would not be the person I am today had it not been for tmtl .
