Anyone successfully complete safp program in burnet tx?

Answer 1

I successfully completed the program. Completed it in 2001. That makes me right at 12 years sober. I can't say I have used that program in my everyday life. It's mostly a long ago memory. But I will say I was one sick puppy the day I entered that facility. I was a drug addict to the core. I had lied,cheated,stole, and every other sick thing dope heads do. It took my MONTHS to start feeling like my old self again. About 4 months into the program I actually realized I was a addict and I had a choice to not go back to that life. And I never did. I completed a year or so of probation after I got out. No problem. It's easy when you are able to follow the rules. And be clean. I could write a novel about my thoughts and feelings on this, so I will try to sum it up. SAFP was no picnic. And at times it was disturbing. But ya know what? I deserved every 4:30am feet on the floor. I deserved the summer with no AC. I deserved every crappy meal and every long week of group after group after group. And then I deserved it all over again. You see I had turned into a big huge loser. I hurt every person who loved me. Stole from my family. Was being a horrible mother. And once I got in trouble with the law, it landed me in Burnett. Thank god. I promised MYSELF the day I walked out of there I would never touch drugs again. And I never did. The last 12 years have flown by. My kids are grown now. They are awesome. All was forgiven. Because I stayed clean they learned to trust me again. Mom and I are best friends now. She trusts me with everything. They said back then they would give me a chance-and I took it. Life is good today . I am great full that I was able to see myself as a drug addict and get help instead of just sitting in prison. I do believe It might had been different had I not been sent to SAFP. I have a great career now. It doesn't even seem possible that the sick girl who got sent to Burnett was me. By it was. It helps the people who are able to get over themselves and want a different life. It helps people who are sick and tired of being sick and tired.. Ya know?? The ones who balk the whole way thru are just not ready to give up there dope life ways. Good luck and big prayers for anyone out there going to SAFP,or with a family member there. It's not easy but nothing in life worth having is. Whenever you feel the program is too tough, just ask yourself - would I do this for a bag of dope?? Then droit to stay clean. You have to put the same effort to being clean that was put in to being an addict. Best wishes to all. Life is so much better, clean and sober. So much easier that's for sure.
