Voices of Discovery, Wyatt - 34 Days

Before coming to Discovery House, I was running out of time and options.

Luckily, I hadn’t burned any bridges, but I was only weeks away from the house

of cards crashing down on my head. Up until recently, I was maintaining my

addiction with no outside help financially. I was self-sustaining and to me this

meant I didn’t have a problem, especially with addiction. The truth was I was

miserable, exhausted, and ready to let go. I couldn’t maintain the facade any

longer. Had I not gotten into Discovery House when I did, my life would look

drastically different and not for the better. I would most likely have lost my

house or had to sell it to avoid serious financial fall out. Addiction and gambling

were about to take it away.

Getting into Discovery House was exactly what my life needed and a saving

grace. For the first time in my life I have hope and faith in a future and a desire

to get there. Although it's different from how I've lived the last 14 or 15 years

of my life, it is amazing to see and feel the possibility of a future free from

addiction where I can retake control of my life. I am grateful for Discovery

House and all that it is showing me.
