Dearest Jim, Kathy, and Oasis Staff:

I am writing to share my success story with you. In April of 1998 I arrived to the Oasis with a serous crack cocaine addiction. After completing my 90 days in house, and about 6.5 months in sober living, I am happy to report that I will celebrate 4 years of continuous sobriety this coming April.

Although my departure from The Oasis was not a very happy one (I was asked to leave the Emily house because I was having a relationship with someone whose name I can't even remember, as well as exhibiting some pretty pathetic behavior) it was one of the best things that could have happened to me because so many positive things have taken place in my life since then.

After Emily, I moved back to Dallas with my parents. I found a good job, and even more importantly a great home group called "Language of the Heart." This group is made up of a lot of mature and incredible people who all have a lot of sobriety. They have been wonderful to me. Since then I started working for a very well known footwear and apparel manufacturer where I have been employed for over two years.

Last year, I went back to college, and will earn a Bachelor's Degree around this time next year. I have earned the trust and respect of my family (even my brothers.) The relationship that I now have with my family is based on honesty and trust; it feels SO good to finally have this kind of relationship. It is as if we are getting back all of those years we missed when I was busy using and drinking. One of my brothers (who lives in Dallas, and who strongly doubted my sincerity when I first became sober) is now the father of two baby boys. I feel so blessed to be able to be a part of their lives, they (he and his wife) even trust me enough to baby-sit and asked me to be the Godmother of their second child.

I finally know that I am a good daughter to my parents, a good sister to my brothers, a good Aunt to my nephews, a good employee to my employer, and a successful student maintaining a 3.8 GPA. Who would have thought things could turn out for me like this when I came to my first fireside meeting wrapped up in my blanket with that horrid scowl on my face. I also know that had I not spent the time I spent, and learned the skills at The Oasis, chances are I would have relapsed, and never would have made it this far. I happened to come upon The Oasis website when I was searching for websites to direct teens I work with in my church to go to for information about drugs and alcohol. Looking at the pictures and reading the letters really brought back a lot of memories for me. I almost wanted to come back!!! :) , but just for a visit - don't worry.

Sometimes I think about the people I was there with, and where they might be now. And often I think of the ones who died while I was there. On a happier note, I am engaged to married to a wonderful man (who treats me like a queen) sometime next year (we haven't set a date yet.) He and I have been dating for over a year and my family just loves him, and so do I. Finally! A non-dysfunctional relationship!!!

Hopefully, sometime this coming year I will make it to So.Cal. for a visit. My fiancé's father lives in Simi Valley and we will be there to visit him in May for his birthday. Maybe then I could visit if it is okay with everyone there. I don't know who receives these emails, but whoever you are, please see that Jim and Kathy A. get this.

Thank you for everything.
God Bless You All and Happy Holidays!!

Dear Jim and Kathy,

I just wanted to send you this note to tell you thank you again for what you have done not only for Dustin, but also for our "whole family." You and your center have been a magical place for us since the day we stepped foot in the door. To be able to still come there on special occasions and even just on the Tuesday nights that we attend the family codependency meeting means so much to us.

Kathy, I’m sure you don’t remember with all the hundreds of people that pass through your doors over the years, but yours was the first smiling face that I saw when I brought my son in. You were also the one who comforted me when I "lost it" as I was leaving that night. I will always be grateful to you for that. I know we haven’t gotten to know each other "real" well over the years, but I think of you as an angel walking around in human form. You are truly a special person and you and yours are always in my thoughts and prayers when I think of all he things I am grateful for today.

No one can ever tell me that God wasn’t leading me when I was frantically trying to find a place for my son to go to that day. I literally opened the Yellow Pages and picked the first place that I laid my fingers on. Thank God it was The Oasis. I don’t even want to think about what "might have been" if we had ended up somewhere else. You and Jim have completely changed our whole family. With God’s help and the fellowship of AA, our grandsons will not be going through what their mother, uncle and grandparents have gone through. It was so beautiful to be able to include them in last night’s events.

Thank you again, and you will be in our hearts forever.

Love,

Rebecca and Dan F.
