I came to the farm in April of 99 after 23 years of drinking and 8 years on crank. I thought the only way to get sober or die. After hitting bottom and a night of trying both. I woke to that moment of clarity. I called a lot of spin drys and mountain vista farm was the only one that said come in now. With three days of white knuckling it, my wife drove me to the farm. At first glance I thought I was in one flew over the coocoos nest. I was willing to try anything. I slept for a couple of days and the work began. We worked the three steps on a daily basis. Had to pick feelings off a feeling chart every morning and I started getting cocky. I would come in singing feelings.

What an awesome experience!! The tools I learned here will follow me in my sobriety! I want to thank ALL the staff for their support and love. You will always be in my heart!!
