Being the young age I was, I had no access to it, so we started drinking my friend’s dad’s liquor. Soon I decided I was going to score some pot. Drugs were in the movies I watched, were sung in the music I listened too, and were talked about a majority of the time with older friends. I looked at it as a sign of maturity and a very accepting sub-culture.
“I grew up always having an interest in drugs and alcohol. Thank you Heather Bennett and Tyler Barkey for rerouting me off my path of destruction and guiding me toward a life of love and happiness.” It is unlike any other program, and whether you are looking to take preventative measures for your teen or feel like you’re at the end of the road in young adulthood - Cornerstone is the answer. Cornerstone was the only place that made a difference. Addiction consumed my life and I was in and out of different rehabs with no success. “I spent years of my life in bondage to drugs and alcohol. There is nothing that I am more grateful for than the opportunity I had to get sober in the way that I did. I have 5 1/2 years sober now and I don’t need to get high anymore, I don’t even want to! I have been graduated from the program for a while now, and I still hold onto the way of living that I was shown when I was here. Before I came into this program, I barely had any life left. This program showed me something better than getting high ever did. It didn’t take very long for my entire perspective to change.
For a while, I tried very hard to con my way out of getting sober and I did everything I could to reserve my right to get high. When I found this program, I was still completely unwilling to sober up. People say that you can’t get sober until you “hit a bottom.” Well, I had hit plenty of them and I was still getting high constantly. The sickest part of it all was that I could barely feel any of this, and I didn’t see any of it as a problem. I barely ever went to school, I had absolutely no real friends, my mom wouldn’t leave her purse in the same room as me, and there was nothing more important to me than dope. Slowly, every part of my life became unmanageable. From that day on, for the next 3 years, I probably had a total of about 2 months worth of sober days. But more than anything, I remember falling completely in love with getting high. I remember the alley we were in, the buildings around me, the weather, and the kind of pipe we smoked out of. I still remember every little detail of that day. “When I was 12 years old, I smoked weed for the first time. Thank you so much for helping me change my life for the good.” My sincere thanks to the counselors that helped me. I am a massage therapist and have a life that I never would have imagined for myself. I am now 23 with a wonderful and loving husband and two beautiful little girls.

I learned how to live again and was given the chance to heal not only myself but my relationship with all the people I had hurt. If they had been, they would have been right by my side going through the withdrawals with me. But week after week I got better and I began to realize that the people I thought were my friends really weren’t. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I had been using for over a year and had destroyed my family and my life. “I was about 15 to 16 years old when I went to Cornerstone for meth addiction treatment.
