Not many people get second chances in life, but I did when I was sent twice to the Life Learning Center (LLC) from the Kenton County Detention Center.  My journey to recovery started when I was arrested for possession of methamphetamines.  I was enrolled in the Jail Substance Abuse Program (JSAP) and was released to attend the program at LLC.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t ready to change my life and was rearrested.  I was given a second chance to go to LLC and this time I gave it 100%.  Honestly, when I showed up at LLC, I didn’t know if I would make it.  But I just kept applying myself and every week I would learn more and more about myself. 

 

The staff at LLC was simply awesome!  They helped me create a resume and to get a full-time job as a forklift operator.  They helped me secure housing at a sober living house where I feel comfortable being around other people who have graduated from LLC or are going through the program right now.  Probably, the best outcome I’ve had so far is connecting again with my daughter.  She went six years without talking with me, but now she visits me twice a month.

 

Without LLC, I wouldn’t be where I am today in life and been able to remain clean now for over a year.  I wish LLC was in every County in Kentucky to help people in need.
