“I came into Avenue’s 12 as a broken, fragile and insecure girl. I let drugs and alcohol control my life for numerous years and I had no concept of self respect, morals and values, and most of all I lost for myself along the way. Avenues 12 gave me everything back. I learned how to be responsible, accountable, and develop a solid foundation in recovery. Today, I am a good friend, daughter, sister, partner, employee, a woman of integrity and most of all a productive member of society. I have become to love the person I am today and the life I live and without Avenues 12 I wouldn’t be where I am.”
