O.K. Well, let’s see. When I first started the sauna program I was very antsy, time seemed to go slow, and I went in and out a lot! But I would sweat buckets when in, and really enjoyed that. I would exercise while in there: bicycle my feet in the air which would burn from the hot top heat in the sauna. I soon discovered more clarity in my mind, a whole lot more serenity in my soul, and an overall calmness at the end. I noticed my facial skin had less wrinkles, my fingernails were growing rapidly and I feel stronger. I still want more echinachia!

I’ve slept good here except two nights. I had crazy dreams that were preventing my sleep but only through two nights. I seem a little stiff but I’m sure once I start working my stiffness will dissipate. Always does, I’m not one to be so still.

Another big time improvement: I felt like I was coming down with something in my lungs. I requested some echinachia and I went to bed and stayed there, resting. Very unusual for me, never would I rest before, especially to prevent/help avoid being run down. I’m just so thankful, grateful, absolutely blessed with this opportunity. I very, very much appreciate all the staff for their extraordinary support. I thank the many many Gods for blessing the perfect timing with everything, everyone in allowing me this perfect opportunity to clean myself of meth.

After the sauna program at ATMC my mental clarity has much improved. Intrinsic motivation and drive has increased and I feel normal again for the first time in years. I no longer feel the toxic effects of all the chemicals I have polluted my body with. I am sleeping on my own without a sleep aid for the first time in years. I have an appetite again for food and life. My sense of smell and taste has improved, and the quality of my skin is much better. In short, my overall sense of well being has improved and my outlook on life is positive again.
