Lincoln Recovery
My Experience
“I went into Lincoln Recovery, a broken girl, after yet another relapse. I was struggling majorly with feelings of guilt and shame and was honestly about to leave when my life changed for the better. I found out I was pregnant, and I was scared beyond belief that I wouldn’t be able to stay clean for my baby girl. However, with the help and support from the people at Lincoln Recovery, I’ve been able to completely turn my life around for not only myself, but also my beautiful baby girl.”
