SUCCESS STORIES
Everyone is different, and so is each person’s experience through Blue Binder Project. We can’t promise you a specific outcome, but we can tell you this – among the folks who have completed our program (and we have about a 90% completion rate), there is a near-universal belief that their Blue Binder Project work has made life better in important and lasting ways. Here are four real-life examples of how our clients seized the opportunity to change their lives after being arrested:
April
“It took a DUI to make me take advantage of a program like this. Now each step I take is making me happier.”
|
April was juggling her career with being a parent, giving to everyone else but not taking care of her own needs. She became stressed and exhausted. She knew she needed to better care for herself, but it was just so hard to say ‘no’ to others… Then, seemingly out of the blue, she was arrested for a DUI. Through her work in Blue Binder Project, life has become much better for this 30-something mother and medical professional. |
Mitch (and Mom Jan)
“Going through this has helped me get out of neutral. I’m proud of myself for the first time in my life.”
|
Still in his early twenties, Mitch’s dreams for his future were all but forgotten. He’d failed out of college and was sleeping on his mother Jan’s couch. He couldn’t find a job, he was alienating his family, and Jan felt helpless as she watched his downward spiral. Then Mitch was arrested. Looking back now, Mitch and Jan both credit his work in Blue Binder Project as the restart to his adult life, and they are so proud of the person he has become. |

Michael
“I would never have imagined a DUI would be an opportunity of a lifetime to change who I am.”
|
From the outside, Michael seemed to have found the sweet spot in life – he had a loving wife, two children, a beautiful home and a successful career. The reality was quite different - the pressure and stress Michael felt providing for his family, caring for an aging parent, and his frequent work travel was building to an intolerable level. Then, coming home from the golf course, Michael was arrested for DUI. Through his participation in Blue Binder Project, Michael turned his arrest into what he views as the opportunity of his lifetime. |
Terry
“Life is a lot better for me today. I was in a big, grey funk, I had no clarity. Now I’m light years away from where I was and I wonder why I didn’t do this years ago.”
|
Terry is a successful, intelligent, articulate man who, despite these strengths, was arrested for his fourth DUI while in his sixties. This time Terry tried something different – he participated in Blue Binder Project to maximize his opportunity to break from his history of alcoholism. Today, Terry, and the people who love him, look at his arrest as an incredible blessing. |
