Review for Beacon House Association of San Pedro, San Pedro, CA, USA
I abused alcohol and drugs for over 20 years of my life. I wanted to stop many times but never could pull it off. I tried evey imaginable way to stop I mean I have been baptized, hands laid on me, oil poured over my head, abstinence and I can not count the many times I tried willpower but all to no avail. I tried treatment programs 5 times and still kept using until I took a suggestion and tried the house. I came with the the idea that I knew something and was exicted about what I was going to bring to the house. When I got there they said something so simple just follow some simple directions and I gurantee your life will change. Nobody ever guranteed me anything in recovery so I was out to prove them wrong. Now nine years later I am so glad they were right. God Bless Beacon House and all that are associated with them.
