It all started with my mother's sudden, untimely death when she was only 63 years old. Georgia was a woman who loved and cared for others. Georgia had a disease that took her life prematurely. She passed on a gift to me that she could not attain herself. I am an alcoholic just like my mother was an alcoholic. The only difference is I received the great and wonderful gift of sobriety. My mom meant the world to me and when I was thirty-three she was no longer there. She never got to know her three children as they progressed through life, her thirteen wonderful grandchildren, and eleven special great grandchildren. We never were able to experience our mom as she grew older. I began drinking shortly after my mother died. It seemed natural to progress to drinking every evening and then I couldn't predict how much I would have once I started drinking. I lost my marriage before I could achieve sobriety. The pressures in early sobriety were overwhelming. There wasn't a recovery house available for women when I struggled with the stresses of single parenting, divorce, lack of support, career, finances, and not drinking. Georgia's
Garden exists to give women the solitude they need to focus on themselves
and to learn how to reach their fullest potential in sobriety. It
is my belief that a stay at Georgia's Garden will allow many women a chance
to begin a life free of chemicals and filled with promise and hope.
