” One year ago, yesterday, I took a few days off, and family and I, we rented a house on the beach. We were in the pool and we were floating around. My phone kept ringing and I kept answering the phone. It was this lady who lived out around Thibodaux and she had questions, can I bring my cellphone and clothes? Do I have to bring enough for 28 days? I’m like, no, we have washer and dryers. It doesn’t take coins. You don’t even need the pods. You can wash while you’re here. Just bring like five to seven changes of clothes, hygiene products, things they’re comfortable with, but it can’t be anything that has alcohol in it, sealed stuff, packed, unopened. I always tell them too, bring your own blanket and pillow because it’ll make you feel more comfortable while you’re here.
My family were like, why did you decide to answer all that? I said, but those questions come up as she’s thinking, as she’s packing. Yesterday she posted on Facebook, 365 days sober. Even though she needed guidance and she needed soothing and she needed it’s going to be okay, that’s what it’s about. 365 days later, she’s clean and sober and she has a new life and new hope. I thought that’s what it’s about being an admissions person to always be there, to encourage, to answer those silly little questions of, can I bring my electric toothbrush? ”
