A True Story of a client who arrived from Saudi Arabia.

Before going to New Life, my life was falling apart because of alcohol. I wasn’t the father I wanted to be or the professional I used to be, and honestly, I wasn’t even myself anymore. Everything revolved around drinking—I was either drinking, drunk, or dealing with a hangover. My relationships with my wife, kids, parents, and siblings crumbled. I was constantly angry and irritable, except when I had a drink in my hand. And even then, deep down, I knew I wasn’t okay.

I didn’t know if rehab would work for me. I was scared—not just of failing but of what life would look like without alcohol. I couldn’t imagine a future where I didn’t drink. But simultaneously, I knew I couldn’t keep going the way I was. So, I took a chance and walked through the doors of New Life. And looking back now, it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

From day one, I felt like I wasn’t just another person in a program; I was someone they genuinely cared about. They put together a team just for me, and these weren’t just professionals doing their jobs; they were people who went out of their way to help me. They tackled everything—medical support to get me through withdrawal and anxiety, psychological care to help me understand my addiction, and even physical wellness to help me feel like myself again. And it wasn’t just about treatment—it was a place where I could breathe. The setting was beautiful, the accommodation was incredible, and the food was amazing. It felt like a place built for healing, not just another rehab center.

Recovery doesn’t happen overnight, and I know it’s a journey that doesn’t end when you leave. But New Life didn’t just get me sober—they helped me see that before going to New Life, my life was falling apart because of alcohol.

My relationships are healing, my mind is clear, and I feel truly present for the first time in a long time.

The best part? New Life didn’t just say goodbye when I walked out the door. They’ve continued supporting me, checking in and ensuring I stay on the right path. I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for me. Without alcohol, it’s not just possible; it’s better. Two months later, my life completely turned around.
