Someone entering a treatment program describes the fear of change and the unexpected warmth from staff and other participants. Their desire to stop using substances and hurting themselves and loved ones outweighed the doubt.

Just, you know, it was it was fearful. Anytime that, you know change is is is present for me, you know, I get nervous and I get fearful, you know. But through the camaraderie of the the participants that were here with me at the time, it's great because everybody was at a different point in the treatment. So you know, I was made felt I was made to feel welcomed by not only the staff but by the participants who helped kind of take me under their wing and help me just get through, you know, that thought of am I doing this? Am I going to be able to do this? And you know, we just went through it together as a, as a team, the participants and the staff and you know there is fear there for sure. But you know, for me it was just my desire to want to stop using and to stop hurting myself and the people who I loved was just surpassed the fear.
