Melissa’s Story

“I was begging for God to help me, sitting in my bedroom at my parents house, deathly high, surrounded by drugs, wanting for God to please let me die, od. I was dead. Dead within. Might as well be dead in the flesh. I would go as far as telling my friends, don’t waste your narcan on me. The disease had eaten my soul. I lived and breathe to get high. Didn’t matter what it was, if you was to say hey Melissa you see that mud puddle it will get you Hella high. I mean if it’s true, I would have intravenously put that mud water in my veins to get high. So now you know where I was…. I was sitting there, asking GOD to please help me, wtf. Let me die, help me,SHOW ME… OK, so I started making phone calls to see about help… I wasn’t calling Florida, I’m from SC, seriously I was calling about keystone a inpatient/outpatient rehab in SC asking to help me get on suboxone, I like opioids,fent,herion, I’m your girl. So I had inquired about suboxone about 2 weeks before that. So I was sitting there HOPELESS in my bedroom at my PARENTS. I somehow got BOCA on the phone. IN POMPANO BEACH ,FLORIDA IM IN SC ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! STG!! YES I CAN GET ON A PLANE RIGHT NOW ABSOLUTELY, i was so high, i thought they were scamming me, i thought they were going to try and steal my organs, i did not know. I knew that i might as well take this chance So he was asking me if I was able to get on a plane today. I said sure I can, I was already at the bottom so it couldn’t be any worse, wherever I was going couldn’t be any worse than where I was in my life at that point. So I decided to get on that plane and come to Florida to Boca Recovery in Pompano Beach, Florida .That was the best decision I have ever made in all my life. To get the help I needed and to get away from that wasteland of a town I called home my entire life. I am so thankful that I decided to go and clean my life up. Since then, I have been clean, it wasn’t easy but with the tools, knowledge and the correct medicine that Boca gave me I’ve been able to stay on the right path in my life. I now live in Tampa, Florida and have a great job in an office that I never ever thought in a million years to be doing what I’m doing now. I have a nice little apartment not far from work and I have a valid driver’s license and a legal vehicle with insurance and registrations. Without the help of the great med staff and techs there it was all possible. So thanks Boca Recovery for helping me on the start to my road to recovery. I have been sober since July, 2023.”
