What our clients are saying . . .
I learned through this program that there is a better way for me to live, for my wife, for my family and for myself. I started the program feeling hopeless and now I feel hopeful. -- Addict
When I learned about my husband’s addiction, I wondered if anything could ever be right again. The group of women I met gave me hope and comfort. I learned a lot about addiction and this awareness helped me cope during this very difficult time. --Partner
I feel the greatest thing for me was learning recovery tools that worked. I have felt shame about this part of my life for so long, it feels great to like myself. -- Addict
“Recovery is a difficult thing; probably the most difficult thing I have ever tried to do! The shame and embarrassment that are a part of every addiction is removed in the group setting. Being surrounded by other men who struggle as I do helped me believe that recovery is something that can work for me, because it has worked for others who have gone before me. LifeSTAR has helped me more with my addiction than years of individual therapy. For the first time ever, I really believe that full recovery is possible for me.” -- Addict
“LifeSTAR was a lifesaving resource to me. My husbands sex addiction lead me to feel alone, hurt and overwhelmed by trauma, anger, and depression. I wondered to myself if this addiction is HIS problem why do I hurt so much? The women’s group gave me much needed support. The counselors were skilled at taking my hand and guiding me to a place of safety and healing. Thank you for this program.”-- Partner
“My pornography and sex addiction of 20 years was the most shameful thing in my life. The strength of this addiction could range from 50% to 100% intensity on any given day. At the end of my LifeSTAR experience, I developed two years of sobriety and more importantly I had the tools to keep the intensity of my addiction down to a 10-20% manageable level. I now have confidence in myself and my recovery. I am a different person because of recovery.”
I was hesitant to do this program, as I felt it was his problem and I didn’t want to spend the money. Over time, I came to understand that therapy was a form of self-care and I needed therapy too! It was so worth the time and money to transform our marriage to be emotionally connected. I also had lost trust and faith in my husband and our marriage. Recovery counseling has helped me to believe in him, us, and myself. It was worth the sacrifice. -- Partner
LifeSTAR clinicians are non-judgemental, empathetic, and are great teachers. I have learned profound things about myself, my my marriage, and my family. I have come to learn that knowledge is power. This knowledge is making a significant difference for good in my life. -- Partner
