I was told by a friend who is in recovery to have an open mind while in rehab and stick around till the miracle happens. I’m so grateful I attended Get Real Recovery because that miracle happened for me.

Attending Get Real was the most incredible and satisfying experience of my life. Larry and Lori are awesome, in a very short time they had become my family away from home. I recommend their program to anyone needing help. Larry’s explanation of what occurs in the brain helped me understand my behavior as an alcoholic. They saved my life.

Get Real has been a gift from God to me. I finally understand why I felt and acted the way I did and for the first time in my life I learned how to deal with life and finally be able to love being me.
