6 tes ti monials To Cottonwood employees, I would like to say thank you for helping me out when I am having my hard times and when I am having a bad day. I think I came a long way, when I first got here, I had an attitude and I think I was all that. I want to tell you I am done with all that. At Cottonwood I started to realize I needed to work on my treatment and not worry about others. Josie Wow, the things I learned from Cottonwood are immeasurable. When I first got here I thought it was punishment but at Cottonwood there were people to guide me, help me up when I fell and most of all, push me when I lost motivation. For a person who came here with a fake it to make it attitude, I have learned more here than I have in my whole life for I have confronted my fears. I also completed two college courses. I would like to thank every person I have come into contact with at Cottonwood, you have all made me a better person. Opamago I ve definitely changed a lot at Cottonwood. For nearly two years I struggled with heroin addiction. I was as low as it could get a lost cause. After four months into treatment I still thought about getting high. Once my mind cleared I started making right decisions, I became a leader, started working on my high school diploma. For once in my life I didn t sell myself short. I reached for the stars, I now carry myself with confidence. I love the person I have become.
