Tyler C.
Could you tell me a little about yourself? Any fun facts you’d like to people to know?
I’m 27 years old, married, and have a little over six years sober! I enjoy many hobbies I’ve started since being in recovery including rock climbing and golf!
​
What originally brought you to Highlife?
I originally came to Highlife after a 30-day stay at Recovery Works in Worthington. I was seeking out a sober living facility where I could continue working on my recovery in a community of others doing the same! Highlife and Recovery Works had been working together for a while at that point so the transition was very quick and easy!
​
What programs were you a part of at Highlife?
I was a part of the Sober Living program. I became a part of the program while already seeing a counselor and doing IOP at another outpatient office, so I didn’t actually go through the outpatient program at Highlife Recovery.
​
What would you say was your favorite aspect of being a part of Highlife?
I really enjoyed the community! It was my first time getting sober, and I didn’t know anything about how to continue to stay sober after my 30-day inpatient stay. Having a support network around me constantly was one of the biggest factors early on that helped me stay sober.
​
In what ways has Highlife influenced your life after treatment? What has stuck with you?
Highlife has influenced my life in many ways since I graduated the program! For one, I have been an employee at the outpatient office for over five years now! They helped me as I started my journey back through college and supported me every step of the way!
​
What would your advice be to someone who may be considering treatment with Highlife?
My advice would be to give it a shot and take it one day at a time. I never thought I’d have more than a couple of months sober, much less be able to find a sweet network of people who would encourage me to grow in my recovery, my faith, and my career. Highlife has changed my life, and I know many other people can say the same!
