I’m 33 years old, and my clean date is 3/10/2019.
At first, I came to my sessions with David Gust begrudgingly and at the request of my parents. But I quickly came to look forward to my appointments with him upon learning that his office was a place free of judgments; a place where I could talk honestly about issues surrounding my relationships (with both people and drugs), my family life, and my mental health.
Through my sessions with David I learned that I was angry about being an addict and that I was scared of the work I knew I needed to put into recovery if I wanted to stay clean. Once David helped me come to this conclusion about myself, he helped me lay the foundation for my recovery- which I eventually dove into by working a 12 step program with a sponsor.
David is kind, intelligent, and very easy to talk to. He made me feel like sobriety was possible and that I deserve it- which I now know I do.
