- Letter From Sarah - College Program Graduate
- This is Sarah, a graduate of SLBTS from just last year in August! All is well in my life.
- "Thank you for giving me my life back."
- Thank you for giving me my life back. A lot has changed in my life since I arrived at Sober Living by the Sea. On October 2, 2009 I will have 6 years of sobriety. In those 6 years, I have graduated from college, gotten married, enrolled in law school and became a father. I have been married 5 years in February and am in my 2nd year of law school at University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law (one of thew top law schools in the country).
- Sober and Happy Rehab Alumni in West Palm Beach
- Hello all, how are things in California? I'm still sober from my visit back in 2002. My recovery program is going great and just wish I can tell everyone who may be struggling that that recovery starts anytime when you want it too start ad are willing to take direction. Don't miss the miracle!
- From Drug Rehab to a Professional Career - a True Treatment Success Story

- I am doing awesome - I will have four years of Sobriety on 10/17/09.
- I want to fill you in on my recovery. I go to a meeting everyday, and I h ave made many new friends in sobriety. I chair a speaker meeting on Wednesday nights, I have 2 sponsees, I do service work, and I am currently the GSR for my home group on Sunday.
- My rehab experience started out as a sentence for another probation violation. I was totally unwilling when I first got there...
- It is difficult to explain in a short letter how much my life has changed since attending the T.E.A.C.H. program and of course Sober Living by the Sea. Like a lot of us my rehab experience started out as a sentence for another probation violation.
- Just when I think my life can't get any better, I wake up sober and it does!
- Hi, my name is Matt R. and I attended Sober living in the winter/spring of 2002. I have not found it necessary to pick up a drink or a drug since. My sobriety date is 1/26/02. Huge influences in my time there were my case manager David Hickman, my first house manager Chris S, and guys like Johnny O, Paul C, and Jeff H. These people along with many others definitely saved my life!
- I'll be celebrating 5 years a month from today
- The important thing for me if I'm having an "off" day is always JUST STARTING to change RIGHT NOW beginning with my attitude, and then in action.
