RONRICK I am a recovering addict. My clean date i8s 11/16/19. O)n 11/15/19 is when I made the decision to allow someone to help me with my addiction and that person is my sister. I was sitting on my couch in Pittsburgh, PA tired of a lot of things and someone, something told me to call my sister to let her know I needed her help, she thought I needed her help for something else, I ex- plained, NO, I have relapsed and her suggestion to me was to “Stop what I was doing and pack a bag and go to my mothers house until the morning and she would have a bus ticket waiting at the bus station for me to come to Toledo, Ohio the very next day. My sister stated to me “ Now, you tried it your way, now try it my way.`` This is where my journey began. As I arrived in Toledo, Ohio I went to Joshua Treatment Center and was accepted but I couldn’t stay at the agency, however I could stay at “this house”. It was a sober living house. When I got there they medically checked me out and discovered my blood sugar was a 600! Joshua Treatment Center sent me directly to the hospital to get treated, I did. I was then able to move into the sober living house, enroll in out-patient treatment for IOP and OP treatment 3 to 4 times weekly. I successfully completed Josh- ua Treatment Center and continued to do everything I needed to do. I am an addict who went from being a Resident of the Beacon House, to rent- ing the entire house4. Today, I am going on 4 years of clean, (uninterrupted) I would like to thank those; Myrtle Boykin Lighton, My sister, Dr. Markeetaq Robinson, Miss. Taundra Ezell and Mr. Louis Allen Jr., for all their love and support they have given me along my journey.
