They gave me confidence, gave me something to look forward to, gave me focus & structure...and most of all, gave me the strength & confidence I needed to stay clean and thanks to them I’ve been clean for 19 months now!
The fact that there were so many people that were in similar situations to myself was refreshing, as they understood my struggles and everyone was willing to listen and offer support.
Without the support of Double Impact, I doubt I would be sober, have a roof over my head or have the relationship with my children I do today. Double Impact gave me a purpose and a reason to keep moving forward.
