For 45 years, I was drugging, drinking, and doing everything under the sun.  I give thanks to Daystar staff for helping me and believing in me.

I believed the world revolved around me and that I knew everything.  But, today I am happy and free, having gone through the Daystar Center's program.

Approved for the addition of 6 more beds
