Harmony Ridge Recovery Center – Chateau Grove

Hi my name is manny and I’m an addict. October 18 2022 is my sobriety date. I was in active addiction for 12 years and am now happier and heather than I have ever been. I owe a lot to everyone at harmony ridge. You guys have made an impact on my life that I never thought could happen. Thank you to the staff at harmony ridge!!

My name is Skylin Funk I’m 26 years old & this is my story.
My addiction started when I was 13 years old after going through something I didn’t think I would ever make it through. It started with alcohol & I just remember not so much falling inlove with the alcohol itself , but falling inlove with NO FEELING. Somewhere along the way I was diagnosed with Bipolar/PTSD/Severe Anxiety. I tried Xanax for the first time & that’s the day I allowed substances to take over. I was so inlove with the feeling of nothing when I didn’t have them my emotions were too intense to bare. I eventually ended up in jail for the first time with my first felony at 21 years old. I was given a chance to make things right and I just wasn’t ready. I relapsed and this was around the time in my area pills were being “pressed” with fentanyl … after my relapse, I then went back to jail and that’s when I discovered that I have been doing fentanyl anyways, this continued on all the way up until they finally got tired and sentenced me to a rehab while being waiting to be sentenced to prison, that’s when I’m went to Harmony Ridge. By the time I got to Harmony Ridge I was so in denial I thought because I was caring for my kids paying my bills that I wasn’t out of control. I literally tried to hike up a hill and escape !!! 😅 Jacob May is probably the first person I talked to after I was trying to leave and whatever he said it’s stuck and I stayed, I met amazing beautiful people on Harmony Ridge even though I was a big brat and I may have bothered people every day they made such an impact on my life. It wasn’t in the plans for me to be able to stay and I ended up relapsing again I gave up, I try thought that because I didn’t get my way and I couldn’t leave and start over that it was over for me then I ended up in prison and that’s when I decided that it didn’t matter where I was if I didn’t stop an inmate and an absent mother and an addict was all I was ever going to be. October 15th 2022 was the day my life STARTED again. I’m now home sober working full time raising the little people I made !!!! I am greatful to wake up and feel emotions and be able to handle them properly I can raise my children in an environment where they are at PEACE . I have support today that I never truly believed I would have & today im happier than I’ve ever been in my life even on my WORST days. Thank you to EVERYONE who made an impact on me at HRRC which was a good 80% of you !! If I can do it you can too today I’m still no where near perfect but IM SOBER ! I sleep at night, I laugh, I cry, I FEEL & I wouldn’t trade it for anything
