“Saint John’s taught me that I’m responsible for my own life. I never grasped that before. I learned to take charge.”
Cynthia’s spiral into 28 years of addiction began at the age of 12. She bounced from one abusive relationship to another until her former boyfriend posed a serious threat to her relationship with her son. That day, she said “enough is enough.” Saint John’s was the perfect place to start her life over. Cynthia worked hard to rebuild herself and mend her relationships. She took full advantage of therapy, life-skills classes, alcohol and drug counseling, and the employment training program at Plates Café. Today, Cynthia is sober, employed at the Dante Club, and living happily with the trust of her children regained.
