Upon me completeing 90 days structured living at Socorro, I will have learned tools like the twelve steps and the spiritul pricipals of these steps. I will have learned how to apply them to my life on a daily basis. I know that Socorro can only free me from active addiction. Socorro has also introduced me to Narcotis Anonymous. Thru the fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous I have realized I am not alone. I am excited and eager to experience my new life. I can’t wait to live life on lifes terms.
