From Banks Mother…
I will never forget the day I was afraid of my son. I was afraid he may steal from me or even hurt me. He had been through a lot at that time, starting in high school. Little things like drinking and partying and getting caught. The usual grounding punishment. Then escalating in college with DWI’s, paying lawyers and bails. I did not see what was happening to my son. His first rehab was a miracle for me. It saved my life, but not his. I learned tough love. My friends did not understand why I would allow my son to go to jail. But, I did. Of course it was the summer that I was planning his sister’s wedding. HE, had taken a lot of joy from his sister and I which was to be the most joyous time for us all. Well, I guess you can say that is when he hit “rock bottom”. After several rehab centers, along came Bay Area Recovery Center. No other center in the country had helped him. Yes, we spent money on many because he was worth saving and I could do it. All you have to do is look at Bay Area Recovery Center saving this wonderful sweet heart of a guy, and the lives he is now saving. He was recently married and the wedding was wonderful. But the greatest memory of that day for me were the many young men that came up to me and said “Banks saved my life”. Even parents of these young men told me how grateful they were to Banks for saving their sons life. Banks is a very happy healthy soul now and is delivering that message to many who can be saved and will be. God bless Bay Area Recovery Center and Banks for the souls they are saving today.
