I found that everything there (at Sky Light) was different than what I had experienced before. The relationships that I found at Sky Light Center was more of a camaraderie. The people are friendly and work together to accomplish a goal of recovery...It's given me opportunity to grow...in a pattern that allowed me to experience life to the fullest.
