My name is Natalie, and I have 15 days sober today. Yay. You have no idea, that is a miracle, period.

I've been in recovery for just about 300 days now, and my life has completely changed.

Some of the people that I've grown to know, we share similar goals, similar struggles... Yeah, I've just been able to learn from them and share my story and hear their story.

My advice for someone considering getting treatment is do it. You deserve it. You deserve to be happy and healthy and you can be.

It saved my life. Saved me from going down a path that I did not want to go back down again, and I almost did, and, and they saved me from that.

If it wasn't for Affect, I would not be here today. They were there for me when I needed them.

Affect really helped me get my life back on track. All you have to do is believe in yourself and trust your group, and follow the advice of your counselor.

It's a positive learning experience, and it's a healthy change in lifestyle, and it will definitely improve your overall life.
