So coming into forward health i was skeptical about recovery and the while situation with the court system and so moving forward as im in intake I'm thinking should I stay or should I go you know I thought juggling my thoughts so done my intake and spent my first night and seen that my surroundings had the same similar defects I did and I got to thinking to myself that this isn't that bad that this place has allowed me to see the other side of life that I thought I never see and now here I am currently employed as a maintenance worker and living the best life I could possibly li e that I thought I did deserve thank you forward health for the life I have today stick around they will definitely make you a believer
