It's amazing that it has been that long and he has been able to do it!... and now he has gained weight and looks healthy and has been taking the vitamins, and the supplements, and he gets a lot more sleep now then at the first! He is able to do things sometimes and feels better... he's come so far! Some don't see a month as being clean or to long as he'd been using a whole lot longer than that, but this is the longest he's been clean since we've dated and gotten MARRIED! Thanks so much Jorge!" MF (wife helping husband)

"Jorge, I am pleased to report that it has been over a month since I beat heroin and cocaine cold-turkey. Wow, has my life drastically changed! Most noticeably, I have gained over 20 lbs.... I have been taking a vitamin regiment which has been helping a lot... I started a new job...I was lucky to have some good friends plug me in with a new job within a few weeks after quitting... I am starting to get back into shape...And after this next paycheck, my girlfriend and I will finally be all caught up on our bills and rent... One of the guys saw me yesterday and said "wow man, you look like a normal, happy, healthy person"... I just feel so thankful to be alive. Everything in life has become so beautiful again. The birds, the sunshine, flowers, smells, feels.... its like an explosion of life everywhere. I feel reborn. It's amazing.... the feeling is so much better than any drug can give you. I proved to myself that "anything is possible"... truly.... you only have to believe in yourself. I feel this empowerment that I have never felt before and I have all this confidence in myself. Something I have struggled with my entire life... Thank you for being there for all of us, Jorge, we need more people in the world like you. It is so easy to be written off by the world as a "stupid junkie"..... but YOU know that its more complicated than that. We are people too. Normal people who have made bad decisions because we were in pain, emotionally or physically. Thank you man. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart..." CJ (male)

​"Dearest Jorge, I am writing a follow up to my email to you regarding my son. He has been clean now for nearly 2 months. I cannot thank you enough for your very helpful and encouraging website. My son followed your cold turkey plan, except for the exercise. I watched the transformation as his body and mind allowed.... It took about 6 weeks to get a good nights sleep, and once the appetite returned, he got stronger every day. About 2 weeks ago he started to take long skateboard runs, and was quite happy to feel so energized. He began attending weekly Christian based meetings for addiction, and even attends church with me...He is looking for work now, eating and sleeping well, attending meetings and church, associating with drug free friends, and saying he wants to be drug free.,..Let me say again over, and over that I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the work you put into helping others. My son couldnt have done this alone.... God Bless you for all you do. Regards..." BF (mother helping son)

UPDATE: 1 Year clean: "Hi Jorge, I would like to thank you again and give you an update on my son. I cannot thank you enough for being there for us.

He loves his job and says he really doesn't want to go back to the life with drugs. My deepest gratitude to you and all of those that help you to help others and deliver a ray of hope in beating what is such a devastating addiction. God Bless You.." BF (Mother helping son)

​"Hi Jorge!.. I wanted to let you know how I'm doing now. I'm engaged to the most supportive and understanding man in the world, and I went back to school to become a doctor. I'm in the honors program at a private " " university with a 4.0 so far, and I'm hoping to become a psychiatrist and join Doctors Without Borders and open up a rehab one day. I had done heroin for 8 years, and once I became clean, I was disgusted at how selfish and despicable a life I had been living. I've gotten 5 of my friends to quit and took care of them through withdrawals... I'll never forget the day I stumbled on your website. I didn't know what to do, and all I had to do was ask.

UPDATE: 1 Year clean: "Hello there Jorge!...I have some great news - I made it to my ONE year sober mark!!! I'm really not sure how to convey what I felt the yesterday as I took my one year token at my home group meeting. There was so much love and joy and gratitude in that room. I felt like I finally had achieved something in my life that I could be proud of. I finally set a goal and achieved it, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done! ...The life I have today is so radically different from my life just one year ago. I have a safe, warm home to live in with people who love me. I have food in my refrigerator. I have hobbies now that do not involve scoring and using. I found out that I am not at all who I thought I was - I am someone who likes things like gardening and photography and writing...Today I have successful, kind, positive-thinking friends I can talk to or call anytime...I am able to be more honest with everyone, especially myself, and that is such a gift...the biggest miracle of this past year for me has been the birth of my son... I love my little boy so much... I will never forget what you have done for me and so many others by building your website and being at your computer when I called out in desperation. You are this incredible torch in the darkness for all us...Thank you for not forgetting us. Thank you for going back into the "war zone" now and again to help some of us out. You are a personification of the good in all Heroin addicts and ex-users. We all have something to offer this world. I can't wait to begin helping others more as I get stronger and stronger. Thank you AGAIN from me and my son "!... If I could hug you or shake your hand I would. Much love to you, brother. Love Your friend and (sober!!!) sister..." LC (female)
