The only word to describe how from 12000 miles away I found The New Direction is sdineerpity'. My life was becoming spiritually bankrupt and I lived in an emotional vacuum. Simply put, I needed help for self-will had let me only toward despair. Upon arrival to this safe haven, I checked my pride at the door and fully immersed myself in this program of recovery. New Direction is not your typical residential treatment center; it is a place where you are not defined by your addiction, but rather encouraged to confront your illness and surrender yourself to a program of action. And yet my days here were not solely steeped in seriousness and introspection, but filled with laughter, new friendships, delicious food and stunning surroundings. Margaret and Matt have built a sanctuary of hope where one can clear away the wreckage of the past and start on a new journey of sobriety. I am deeply grateful to the staff, counselors and housemates who made my stay one of the most enriching experiences of my life. I hope to meet some of you as we trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.
