Unsolicited Letters From Starlite Alumi
"Thank you for giving us our life back! James went on the men's Walk to Emmaus in March which he never would do before because he could not stop drinking. He is wonderful. We go places again when our lives used to be scheduled around the bottle. We laugh like we are newlyweds.
Before his visit to Starlite, James would drink 4 gallons of whiskey and a bottle of pills in 4 days. I never left him alone for fear of finding him dead. Now, I can go visit the family and not worry anymore. I have the sweet angel of a man back that I married. Thanks again to you and God. I don't know where we would be without you. We almost lost everything we had, his job of 28 years, our home of 20 years, besides our life together was also in jeopardy. Not because of less love, just too much heart break and denial. I was alone all the time even though he was here.
We could never travel far due to his need to turn around and get back to drinking. We are now planning a trip to Oklahoma to see our grandchildren. We are planning camping trips and things like that."

"Round 2 of a 2-round bout. And this time, it was suggested I not return to my home after treatment. Counselors, peers, wife, brothers, in-laws, the majority of the individuals listed on my fourth step, all felt that I needed the Starlite 90-day or 120-day program and had one existed, I would have probably adhered. Not because I wanted to, but because I didn't want to. I had been blessed with the gift of desperation.
I remember it like it was yesterday. Biggest group of misfits, all walks of life, but not one of them from my side of the tracks. I couldn't relate to these people, at least that is what I thought. We had nothing in common. BAM! I heard something and it hit me like a ton of bricks, but felt much better. It was something I hadn't heard in a while. Laughter. And not the kind you hear from a good joke, but the kind you hear from good, old fashioned God-is-Good happiness. They laughed with one another as if they were brothers and sisters from birth.
God had placed me where he wanted me and introduced me to the people who would save my life. I met the best people I have ever known and each day I thank him for the fellowship, this wonderful fellowship of strangers who became family."
