My name is Diana, I walked through the doors of RCCS in April, 2015. I was broken and lost and all I knew was that I wanted something more for my life. After 28 years of Meth use, as well as numerous arrests and many attempts at recovery, I knew that there had to be something more - I had it once and I wanted it back. I had over 7 years clean and sober, but after my husband passed away in 2009, I went on a 5-year spiral of addiction and crime that brought me to new lows. While sitting in a jail cell and looking at 10 years, I realized that I had better get help. I came back to RCCS because I knew it was the only place that would work for me. I had a few bumps in the road through my treatment process, but I didn't look back. I knew what I needed to do, and I did it.
When I graduated the program in October, 2015, our Alumni was very small, and there were usually three to four of us that would meet up every other week and talk about what was going on in our lives. I continued to stay connected as our alumni continued to grow. I am so blessed to be a part of a family in recovery. I consider them all my brothers and sisters and we are truly "ALUMNI STRONG." Now our alumni group meets every week rotating between the Minneapolis and the St. Paul locations. We work together at doing what we can to give back to the program that gave us a new chance at life, as well as utilize the aftercare resources that RCCS has. I am so PROUD of the title – RCCS ALUMNI.
