“I had an addiction problem for many years. Now I’m realizing I can’t live that life anymore because that lifestyle will kill you. I’ve been in numerous programs before. Light of Life’s program is beautiful, but it’s what you make it. It teaches and guides you to live life a better way... one day at a time.”
