I had the opportunity to go with Hawaiian Island Recovery to participate in the Dolphin therapy program. I know a lot of people would laugh at the idea of sending a drug addict or alcoholic to Recovery Program in Hawaii. Well Let me say this, Wow, it is no joke it is not a vacation and they do amazing work... The are great at EMDR (trauma work) and there staff is amazing... Thank you so much for the experience yesterday..

My life is amazing -- saved by HIR!" L.C. - VA, USA

The life of an addict is a stressful life. I cant even imagine why I did that for so long. But, If thats all you know- you n ever think there is another life out here. I woke up to understand that I am a viable person. I am equal to anyone else out here. The therapy really worked. They all have a different approach but the same result happens- they get you to look inside yourself. It seems to be what we burried in our addiction is love. To feel love and to be able to give love- thats what [HIR] this place has done for me. My life is turned around.
