I give God all the honor and glory for what He has done in my life through Mr. and Mrs. Harris, staff and my brothers at DAP. I am experiencing my third year of sobriety. This program has taught me to love myself and to learn the value I have in God’s eyes. I have learned to be honest first of all with God, myself, and with all my loved ones. Second, to be accountable for my actions and to be the responsible husband and father God expects from me. I have learned that I am forgiven and loved. Now I have the peace that I’ve longed for. Because of God and the tools of this program, I no longer have the urge to drink my problems away. Since I left DAP, not only do I have a permanent and stable job that allows me to keep the Sabbath but it’s not so hard on my bad knee. I am now head deacon for the English service of my church. I am also active with Bible studies as a translator and have received my GED online. I make it a point to tell anyone willing to listen about my testimony and recovery, and I have already impressed someone to seek the help that DAP offers. I pray, he will not be the last. Thank God from the bottom of my heart for all the love shown to me and making DAP a reality for all men seeking help.
