# Families Applied for the Saranam Program in 2012 :   54

• • I am even more grateful for Saranam for allowing me the time to make better quality decisions for my family and for the chance to improve in finding areas of “Realistic Goals” for myself.  
• We are not just in this program alone and it helps to share personal experiences.  
• I am able to cook for myself. 
• I made my first apple pie from scratch yesterday.  
• I am grateful to be sober and learning how to cope with everyday stress.   
• Now I can say “take it to your room,” and you have one.
