Rob M.
Class of June ‘08
Rob M. arrived at The Family Foundation School August 21, 2006. His stay lasted 22 months. His life at home was out of control; he was abusing drugs and getting kicked out of school.
His stay at the school was a great learning experience for him. Midway through, Rob received a letter from his father telling him as long as he did well and learned to control himself, he could still drink.
This left him with a huge decision to make. After speaking with his sponsor, Ed Becker, he decided he wanted to live a sober life. Shortly after this change in Rob, he received junior sponsoring which allowed him to give back what was given to him.
He graduated from high school and the program in June 2008. He is now a sophomore at Marywood University, majoring in hospitality management. He has managed to stay sober by attending meetings every other day and hanging out with sober friends.
He still spends time with friends from FFS, including alumni Eric K. On the weekends they play football and going to the movies with other friends. Rob’s advice to the students of FFS is to find a staff member that they completely trust.
His sponsor Ed Becker, he says, was one the people who helped him to change the most.
