Goals

"One specific thing about this program that has helped me is the goals that we set each week. When you set your goal around using, it rings on a whole different responsibility. The goals have helped me to stay straight with my priorities and to not let myself nor this program nor my parents down."

Trust

"I feel like my parents have more trust in me. I feel like I've learned helpful tools. I know how to handle stress and say no as to not get peer pressured into certain things. I'm glad I decided to do this program it's left me with valuable tools that I can continue to use."

Stress

"I will carry forward ways to cope with stress and ways to say no to using. This is important to me because both are relevant to me so I can become a better person."

Using

"Answering the questions on email really made me think about my choices and opened my eyes to alcohol. I feel great. Alcohol is no longer any part of my life and I'm glad to overcome that. I am proud of myself."

Making Decisions

"I feel more confident in my ability to make decisions that better serve my health as opposed to 60 days ago. I feel that way because of the insight I have gotten from this program and not only thinking more about it but implementing some stuff into my life."
