"Affordable Recovery. What can I say? This organization saved my life, and the life of the greatest friend I've ever had. Point Blank. Who ironically I MET at Affordable. I came to Affordable after a decent bit in prison and had NO IDEA what to expect. But immediately upon entering the building at Mother of Sorrows, I knew this was where I had to be. And throughout the 4 months I was there it became more and more apparent that this was where I was going to start over. I met Joe shortly after I arrived and well.....we clicked along with another man we kind of made a 3 Musketeers scenario. R.I.P. JR.Having the support of your brothers and the support and guidance of those who have been in the same spot before is what ultimately led to us being successful. The tools that we were given from Affordable are tools that are priceless and we will forever be in debt, because without them we never would have made it this far. Some years ago Heroin ruled our lives and we were all but homeless simply looking for that next shot. But when Affordable was introduced into life, that is when we turned the corner. It really is what you make it. If you really want the help, Affordable is there to give it to you. If you don't want it, you can't receive it because How can someone help you if you don't want to help yourself. So to those who speak badly, my response is quite simple. You weren't ready and you didn't want it. But do you know what the wonderful thing is? When you ARE ready Mary Jo and John, along with the rest of the Affordable staff and partners will be there with open arms. I never thought I'd see my life where it is. We both own our own cars, I am married to a beautiful woman, have my own home and money in my bank account. Without Affordable I don't think I would ever have achieved anything close to this. Yes it's in Nebraska...yuck. But hey I'm not in prison or in some shitty gas station bathroom with a needle hanging out of my arm. And I am HAPPY. Joe is HAPPY. Life is fabulous and it all started at an old Catholic school on Western Ave and a little house on Paulina. So thank you Mary Jo amd John from the bottom of our hearts, for without you this would never have been possible. Love you guys." — CJ & Joe
