Well what I learned, was that being in a whole different environment that had such an loving and caring atmosphere really helps because all knew was pain and hurt , I also learned that getting to the rooted issues of why I turned to drugs brought healing as well but it wasn't easy I had to pray through it and it helped. I also learned how to forgive the people who hurted me and also for forgave my self

Wow, @savana1, you learned some incredible lessons! Yes, the support of people who care is so very important. No one can win the addiction battle on their own.

I also like what you said about the "root issues" that led to your addiction. Until we can "root-out" the problem it will continually come back.

Do you feel like addiction isolated you before you went into the residential treatment program? In other words, did you feel alone before?
