My Experience

“Just because you’re lost, it doesn’t mean you can’t find your way.”

Alex was interviewed about his recovery journey and experience at Mountain Springs Recovery, and here is what he had to say:

When did you attend Mountain Springs Recovery?

I attended MSR from March 2023 to May 2023.

What is your sobriety date?

My sobriety date is actually February 2023. I was at Northpoint and they helped me continue my care with Mountain Springs.

Why did you choose Mountain Springs Recovery?

I chose this facility because I have social anxiety, and I heard this place was huge. Not gunna lie, the lake that I could bring my own stuff to fish really sold me.

Who at our program made the biggest impact in your recovery journey?

I gotta say, Mr Cro helped me. Ms. Sherry and Mr. Chandler, and who could forget Robert, who always had candy. Cro helped me see a different idea and way of life that I took after I left. Sherry helped me with my mothers issues. Chandler was always cool and level headed. He helped me with my anger issues and the 100+ people there all helped me with my social anxiety.

How has your life changed since treatment at Mountain Springs?

My life has changed for the better. I made a tight circle of friends and volunteer for stuff that I believe in and most of all, I hold my head up high. The world is actually really beautiful if you look up from the ground.

What advice do you have for someone seeking treatment?

Man, if I had any advice speaking from my experience, wait until you wanna get sober for yourself. If you try to do it for anyone else, that’s like riding a bike with training wheels and the training wheels are the people you are doing it for, and you’re the bike. So, you just gotta do it for you.
