Those in recovery who want to stay in recovery have acquired and are using new coping tools to face challenges. The old way of coping with problems like rage or overwhelming emotions involved drugs or alcohol. What was once a coping aid became an additional problem. Replacing drugs and alcohol wi...

Depression is one of the most common mental and emotional symptoms of addiction. People who suffer from depression mistakenly turn to alcohol or drugs in an attempt to lift their moods. Their brains trick them into believing the “high” they experience is a solution. This short-term solution soon ...

Gratitude in recovery makes all the difference in a positive approach to sober living. An attitude of gratitude may not come naturally at first. In many cases, people who are newly sober don’t think they have anything to be grateful for. They only see what they have lost in the chaos of their add...

Many people we meet in The Program radiate a kind of special glow - a joy for living that shows in their faces and very bearing. They've put aside alcohol and other mood-altering chemicals and have progressed to the point where they're "high" on life itself. Their confidence and enthusiasm are ...

When we were drinking most of us never thought of helping others much less considered lifting a finger to do it. Yes, we would buy someone a drink because it made us feel like we were good and doing a good thing. But we really only used others for our own benefit, to make us feel like we were do...

So what makes A.A. work anyway? The first thing is to have an extreme dislike and hostility towards myself and the way I live. Then I have to admit I am helpless, that alcohol and or drugs control me and I can’t do anything about it. The next thing is to honestly want to quit my old life. The...

This is the best rehab I have been to. The staff and people there were so wonderful and did their very best to help me through my drug addictions. They did their best to get you out of your shell and to feel like you're apart of a loving, easy-going family. I've been to many rehabs, and it's safe to say that this rehab was the main reason I got clean. The staff really cared for you and made you feel loved and included. The attendees made the experience so awesome, I couldn't have asked for more. The rooms were very nice and relaxing. The food was awesome, as well. They accommodate for any allergies and they still make it taste good, which is almost impossible when you're going through withdrawals. The classes were fun and laid back, which allowed me to not have to speak if I didn't want to. They challenged me to get better with the use of cognitive behavioral therapy, which I feel was the most important part of the recovery. Anaheim Lighthouse allowed me to really look deeply into my life and see what I was doing wrong and what I should strive to be. I'm extremely thankful for Anaheim Lighthouse. Without it, I wouldn't know what to do.
