About Pasadena Recovery Center
“I would like to take a moment to thank Pasadena Recovery Center, Mackenzie, Cheryl, Angela, the whole staff and never forgetting my Brothers and Sisters in recovery. I am grateful for every one of you. After 5 decades of consuming every substance known to, hippie, musician, actor, artist and man, I am clean and sober. It is unbelievable! Words cannot describe my inward feelings. I am working daily, staying centered of course, although I must say the “high” that I am experiencing from my sobriety is awesome. My relationships with my family (especially my 28 year old daughter), my friends, every creative endeavor, my therapy and my clarity is humbling as well as overwhelming. I will continue searching, learning, sharing and loving with great fervor. Thank you PRC for opening a huge door to a new perception of myself and my life. If I need to go knocking, I know you will be there…”
