The 217 Story
When I entered treatment in early 2019, it was the 15th time, and at a new place (to me) in Northern Michigan. This treatment center had room numbers and when I arrived I was placed in room 114. I was there for a week or so before being moved into room 217. Here's where I really got to know the other guys in the room, Matt & Rob. After a long day of groups and social interactions with staff and other clients, we often felt the need to talk. Talking was our way of processing how our day went, what we could've handled better, and the things that were out of our control.
We played games to spice up the monotony of the days in treatment, and the games forced us to make uncomfortable statements in uncomfortable situations. We found that by keeping our commitment to our game, we wouldn't let the other guys down, and gain a sense of pride for following through with a commitment. This actually helped us more than we knew at the time. It was so much easier to face the uncomfortable situations that led to our substance use than it was to commit to our game challenges.
217 might be an area code in Illinois, but that's not where the meaning comes from in 217 Recovery. Soon after we formed 217 Recovery, one of our Podcast listeners pointed out the 217 Angel Number meaning. It's posted below and everytime I read it I tear up and get chills down my spine, because those were the things I was working on in treatment while staying in room 217.
