Sam’s Mountain Vista Farm Story

“Without the farm, I never would have gotten that foothold to be able to climb that mountain. “

Hey, my name is Sam and I came to Mountain Vista Farm last summer in 2023. Mountain Vista Farm gave me the safety net and security I needed to start my journey in recovery. They brought tools for my family, for myself, and really helped me to get into the recovery world. During my time at Mountain Vista, I really enjoyed the staff here.

They have a deep knowledge of recovery and were able to help get me on the right medications and the right therapies to help me deal with my alcohol addiction and PTSD. Without the help that I got here at Mountain Vista Farm, I don’t even want to think about where I would be right now. I’m living a very productive life.

I’m happy. I’m sober. The communication between myself and my family is the best it’s ever been in my entire life. I’m healthy and I’m emotionally sober as well. So now I work with a sponsor. I’ve almost completely finished my 12 steps of AA. I’m working as a secretary for the first responders meeting. I do service multiple times a week and I’m functioning better at my career.

I’m functioning better at home. I’ve been given the tools that I needed to deal with everyday life. And now all those things that I thought were uncomfortable mountains are things that I do every day. I’ve been given a certain amount of emotional intelligence that I never had before, and a freedom to live my life and be my true, authentic self.

And without the farm, I never would have gotten that foothold to be able to climb that mountain.
