Testimonials

It took alot of convincing to get me to come into your alcohol rehab program. Between my parents, boyfriend and the counselors at the admission center I decided to give it a try. While I can't say it was easy, I can say it was the best decision I have ever made. My parents and boyfriend agree. I can return to Maryland with my head held up high. Thanks for everything.

One drink always led to ten and when I couldn't drink any more I turned to cocaine. This combination landed me in the E.R. one night which was my motivation for recovery. Since completing Stepping Stone's alcohol recovery program I have not had a drink or drug; it has been seven months now and I still can't believe it.

- Miguel H., Texas

It has been 11 months, 21 hours and 22 minutes since my last drink and drug, but who's counting. I assure you it was no laughing matter when I came into Stepping Stone. I was completely depressed, my eating was out of control and I was drinking at least two bottles of wine a day, not to mention the cocaine use. Today, I am a responsible mother and wife but more importantly, I am a responsible recovering alcoholic. Thank you Stepping Stone
