"It was a wonderful experience. Very emotional, extremely exhausting (mostly emotionally), and very helpful in identifying my own personal recovery needs. It was also extremely enlightening for me [in] regard to my husband's recovery needs. In previous counseling experiences I have been left out of my husband's recovery completely. Being involved and understanding his recovery process helped me feel closer to him…. This was a turning point in my own journey."

"I'm looking forward to the 3 month check in. I see it like a random drug screen- with which I am well familiar. Once I figured out just how sick I was, those kept me safe from myself for 5 years. Once I was able to get it figured out, like training wheels, I can navigate through life without alcohol. When I finished my dental board probation period I heard of other guys who relapsed and they were tested in their offices immediately. That's how I see the check ins. That kind of accountability is very helpful for me. I can see coming back for years to come (if not for a lifetime). [My wife] said she no longer feels like she has to sleep with one eye open. It was exhausting."

"[What helped me most was] understanding how the brain and chemicals in the brain work for addiction ... and normal people. [The Intensive was] very emotional and mentally draining but also helped me see my addiction from my wife's perspective, feel a spiritual renewal also, very anxious to come back and be sober for 3 months."

"[The Intensive] was wonderful to be able to be open and unafraid and to be heard and understood. It felt like a very safe place where surgery on the heart could take place. To be able to have someone look underneath the cesspool of our life and flush it out in the open was painfully good. I did not want to leave and go back into the real world and try to figure out how to move forward alone. It was a very good experience for me. Thank you for the work you do. It is a wonderful ministry and I will be forever grateful for being able to learn under you."

"This was life transforming for my marriage. I think that while we may not have had the level of severity in terms of our issues as some couples, I was at a point of feeling like we needed something dramatic to get us on track. Your program was certainly that! It was like rebooting a computer, scrubbing it and reinstalling the programs after being infected with a virus."
