Hello! My name is Cory, and I am recovering from substance abuse disorder, and mental health conditions. I am 36 years old, and work for the Forest Service in the Giant Sequoias of California. I absolutely love my life, my family, friends, fun, mountains, the high desert, the ocean, and everything in-between.
- I am reaching out for assistance because I have exhausted every other option, and I need help. Did you know that as a Federal Government Employee I am not eligible for income protection or Short Term Disability Insurance from the state of California, or the Federal government due to the budget and CR? I know. It's not good.
- I was out of work for 6 weeks while getting treatment and am now staring at a stack of bills 1ft tall!
- I am grateful that I got to keep my job. Thankfully the people that love me gave me a nudge to get professional help, and I surrendered and said OK! To be the man that I know I can be I need to make sacrifices. So I checked myself into a 30 day inpatient facility and then into intensive outpatient. And I cannot thank MyTime Recovery enough. They reminded me who I am. Gratitude is the key !
I am grateful for every day that I am sober. I am grateful for restful sleep, and easy mornings without a hangover.
I am grateful that I get to work outside and helping to protect our Sequoia groves for future generations.
I am grateful for quality time with my mother and sister. I even met a woman that is a blessing in every way and I plan to spend my life with her.
I spend all of my extra time receiving therapy, and trying to get back into the rythem and routine and it is the hardest thing I have ever done. I want back the beautiful life that I almost threw away.
Recovery is possible, and I will thrive (instead of just survive). I will be FREE!
Your love and support goes a long way, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
- I am asking for money to help me get back on my feet. I just need one less thing to worry about right now. It really does take a village. It takes a community of people trying to change and better their lives to heal.
God bless and happy Autumnal equinox!
