Hope
"Someone once told me that when the fear of remaining
the same outweighs the fear of changing, you change.
The thought of continuing to live the life I had been living
was finally enough for me to put my hands in the air and
admit I needed help and couldn't do this alone. I walked into
TASC ten years ago and was sent to inpatient treatment,
moved to transitional housing, moved to a sober living
house, and finally into the home I've lived in for the past
seven years. Had I not followed that particular path I have
no idea where I would be today. I am eternally grateful
for all of the opportunities afforded to someone looking for
help in Berks County." - Anonymous Person in Recovery
